I have complex regional pain syndrome and dystonia (that's the short version , and a few moths ago was prescribed Baclofen, a muscle relaxant prescribed mostly to people with ms.

It has helped some with the constant muscle spasms and tremors, and while it hasn't eliminated them, I do see an improvement.

I have dystonia in my entire left side. My leg bows and my ankle is permanently rolled outward, as well as my arm, neck, face and tongue are constantly going between painful and rigid spasms and uncontrollable tremors.

The Baclofen has reduced the spasms and tremors, as well as the intensity of the ones I do experience.

I'm sure you have tried various muscle relaxants, but thought I'd throw in my two cents with respect to my experience with Baclofen. My specialist and I are still fiddling with the dosage, I currently take 15mg three times a day.

I feel for you and understand how hard it is to battle severe spasms and severe pain. I am unable to work as well, and had to leave my job as a 911 operator. For me it's been over 4 years, and some days I wonder how I'm going to keep going, when I'm only in my early 30s, and have a young family. Other days I don't wonder so much.

Best of luck to you! I will keep an eye out for your posts and follow your progress!
