Kathy Jo,
I have had mine for 7 years, it is positened to help the tightness of my low back and legs, and it has been very, very helpful! I had EXTEME pain and tightness in my legs, now part of that was also my worn-to-bits hips, but we didn't know that at that time. After my pump was installed and turned on, I slept like I had not in years, and my pain went down about 50 to 60 percent.
Depending on which size pump you get, you'll need to go to have a refill every3 months or every six months. They just put a slender needle through the layers of skin the pump is in, it hurts for 5 seconds, not more than a shot. and they remove the remaining baclofen, and put the new stuff in, and this takes 15 to 20 minutes tops, and then you are done!
after a while you may want to increase the dose. this is easily done with a device that looks like something dr. spock in Star Trek might have used. it's painless.
Thanks,
Tamar Raine
