"On the 1st of April I twisted the tendons in my right foot according to the hospital. When I finally got to the physio he said Plantar fasciilis. So I've gone from a chemist bandage to physio taping it up. I finally started using a walking stick, in which the physio told me a couple of years ago to start using.
My doc is thinking of starting me in baclofen for my small nerve neuropathy. What's everyone's opinion on that medication?
Since I had a 5 week bout last November, I'm just not bouncing back like I normally do. Still have a weak left arm, swallow food and choking on drinks, and balance is worse. I can't get into a new spec till November. I'm sick and tired of being tired. "
, oh, goodness. I am so sorry you have been dealing with tendon issues on top of those lingering symptoms from November. Am I understanding you correctly that you had an MS flare up in November and the issues have lingered since then?
I know it's frustrating when a flare ends but the problems it brought on don't go away.
Baclofen can be a great option, but, like any treatment for MS, what works for one person may not work as well for another. I wanted to share a couple of stories from our members on this medication. This member found Baclofen to be a good option -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/stories/something-that-might-help. And here is some helpful, basic information on some standard MS treatments, including Baclofen -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/medications-symptoms. There's also some helpful input from community members in the comments at the end of the article. And, here's one member's experience with Baclofen, from the highs to the lows -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/stories/baclofen-spasticity. I hope these links give you some insight into the medication and how it has worked for various community members here. And I do hope you get some additional feedback as well.
Best, Erin, Team Member.That’s a lot to be dealing with at once, and I’m really sorry you’re going through all of that. It makes sense you’re feeling exhausted when things just aren’t settling back down the way they normally do. Erin, provided so many great articles, I truly hope you're able to read them all. Waiting until November to be seen again has to be frustrating on top of everything else. But I hope you’re able to get some relief soon and things start to ease up a bit for you. Hang in there! All the best, Latoya (Team Member) Thank you
