Comment:
I have degenerative arthritis in my neck and back, and Osteoporosis. I also have a sleep disorder and haven't slept more than 4-5 hours/night since November 2016. Baclofen does not even touch the pain, BUT - I got my FIRST 7.5 hours sleep in 6 months. 5 stars for sleeping and no stars for pain.
