I am an incomplete with limited motion in arms and legs. My tone is so bad and i am maxed oot on baclofen and zabaflex. If i got the pump, are you restricted with what you can do? (Trying to swing golf club, bowling, etc.) Please Help[size=7]

Because of the placement of my pump (more on the butt than back), it makes sitting on hard surfaces painful.

I can still go to the gym and aside from the above mentioned, I don't really notice it much.

Considering that I can't take oral baclofen, it has helped me. It has also enabled me to reduce my intake of oral narcotics somewhat.

depending on the placement of the pump it may induce some pain in certain activities, though there are no restrictions (just no skydiving please he he)
