Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Another try in case someone has a new suggestion. My daughter has developed very stiff legs, hard to bend so difficult to sit. She started taking Magnesium over a month ago (one suggestion from someone) but so far no change. Also trying Glucosamine recently. The doctor has said neither will hurt but held out not much hope for help. Any other suggestions anyone?

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 There is another option: The maximum recommended oral dose of Baclofen is 80mg. I was at this level, taking 4 20mg tablets 4x/day with increasing spasticity, till this last summer, when I had a Baclofen pump surgically implanted to deliver a minute amount of it straight into my spinal column. The routine, 1-night-in-hospital procedure may seem a bit extreme, but if you're at your wits end of dealing with spasticity, I suggest you look into it. It has helped me significantly.
