Baclofen For Pain?

I have DDD, scoliosis, which is serious, have herniations and bulging discs in cervical spine and also in lumbar spine. I can't walk without cane. I went to doc today and she gave me a small dose of baclofen,5 mg bid. Will this help my pain? I am taking generic oxycodone 30 mg every 4-6 hours as needed. I used to take oxycontin 20 mg, up
to 5 times a day, it worked very well, but I can't take this now, because my medicare will not pay for it.

REPORT

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth.

It is used to treat the pain associated with muscle strains and spasms.

However, the only way to see how it will work for you is by trying it.

Have you experienced any benefits, yet?

Thanks for your reply, but I had to stop it. Just upset my stomach too much, and it was not helping at all. Just making me lethargic.
