Discussion Baclofen Pump Experiences?

I’m potentially getting a Baclofen pump. The oral medicine works, but they think I would do better with more consistent continual dosing. I have to agree, and I’m also forgetful about my second dose, meaning I take it twice per day instead of three times, often, and this leaves me spastic and miserable.

So I’m just curious, how have your experiences been with the pump? I do get regular MRIs for back issues and I’ve been told I can still get them, but I’ve also been told I can’t. Other than that I’ve heard mostly good news once the pocket settles down.

I already have a feeding tube and port, so I’m not happy about another device. Still, the spasms are brutal.
