I've been dealing with severe muscle spasms due to a spinal cord injury and my doctor recommended trying Lioresal Int 0.05mg/1 Inj, 1ml, a form of intrathecal baclofen. I'm curious to hear from anyone who has experience with this treatment. How effective was it? What side effects did you experience? How did the implantation of the pump go? I'd love to hear both positive and negative experiences to help me make an informed decision. Is it worth the risk of side effects for the potential relief? Also, how does the pump management go, and can it be done at home or does it require frequent clinic visits? Any insights would be super helpful!
