This sounds like neuropathic pain and not like someting caused by spasms. Baclofen only has much effect on spasms.

For neuropathic pain you probably need something like gabapentin (neurotin) which many of us take to help with this, but first you need to see the doctor and get your problems assessed and a suitable treatment started.

I know this is late, but I have heard of people complaining of burning after taking oral Baclofen. the person I knew thought it was due to the Baclofen, but ended up quitting it after a few weeks. Maybe it depends on condtion that you need the Baclofen for that causes different neuropathic symptoms.
