[Rollonwheels]

Hello everyone, i am going to see my doctor on friday the 12th of july and i need testimonies of people who has pumps for baclofen or morphine. Please if you have such pumps and are experiencing benifits or complications with these, please send me an E-Mail explaining what these pumps have done to you. I am paraplegic, T9 and i am experiencing pain in low back and also pain in my legs, feets and toes.The problem is that i can't feel the low part of my body (from the hips)

Hi, Roland, I'd love to send you an email - but you haven't got it in your profile! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

If you do a search here on sciwire, you'll find lots of info, just plug in 'baclofen pump'; there have been a lot of discussions re its pros and cons, and what to ask the surgeon/your doc when contemplating one.

email me if you like!
