    baclofen pump?

    Hi Jean, I had my pump implanted in January. So far I as well as my docs, pt and ot have noticed significant decrease in tone and spasticity in my legs. My Physiatry doc told me it could take months of adjusting to get the right dosage. So far I am happy with my decision to go with the pump.
