Lynne,
Mine were almost that bad at the beginning. The baclofen really saved my
sanity!

My spasms are worse the lower in my body you go. Lower part of legs
give me the most problems. They used to be so bad my husband would tell me it
looked like I was trying to ride a bicycle. A couple of times when I was
laying on the sofa they actually flipped me off onto the floor. Muscles in
legs use to always be reall tight all the time too, so much so that when they
would try to test my reflexes nothing moved. Now things have gotten much
better, I still have spasms off and on all day (worse when I have been
overdoing it) but not nearly as severe when they occur. Yes they have always
been worse at night or when I try to lay down to relax.

it located from bottom of feet to hip? Janice

The pump is for the spasms. It works the same as oral
Baclofen but uses much less medication to get the same results.
The actual pump is inserted just above and to the left side
of my belly button. Then the tubing runs from there around my left side and
into the lower part of my spinal column. The pump is about 4" across and
sticks out about an inch and a half. Its not really noticable under looser
fitting tops, but real noticable in the summer, especially in my bathing suit.
No more clingy fabrics for me lol.

Is the Baclofen pump you are using for pain or spasms,
etc.? Also, where is it inserted? Janice
