Re: Shoulder and leg muscle pain

I also have very good results from Baclofen, and know exactly the pain what
you're describing. No side effects at all, tho I know many people do get
side effects.

Probably the worst spasm & get is in my shoulder, not in it exactly but down
behind it slightly down my left back, there's nothing I can do but bear
this sickening spasm, until the Baclofen cuts in and washes all the paid and
discomfort away for me.
