Leg weakness with Baclofen pump

[Arye]

I'm on my second pump and am experiencing days where my legs are weak and not responding well. Some days I'm good. No one knows what's going on. Help please.

Baclofen had

No positive impact for me.. just felt flipped out. My Neuro receptors are fried? Ha-ha. Hope it works much better for you!❤️

Could there be a need for a dosage adjustment or a check on the pump's function? Is your neuro aware of this change?

I sure hope you get some strength back in your legs very soon.

I noticed that when I took my baclofen tablet twice a day, I felt more wobbly, and my muscles were rubbery. So, after discussing this with my neuro, I eliminated one pill, and take my baclofen only before bed. It does help with my leg spasms that occur when I am asleep. So, what I am suggesting is to let your doctor know what is going on with you so that you can get to the root of this issue, and hopefully find relief.

Arye greaterexp makes a good suggestion. If I am not mistaken, baclofen is a muscle relaxant (which is why it is prescribed for spasticity) and might be causing the leg weakening. Perhaps the pump is malfunctioning or the timing and dosages need adjustment.
