Dr. Theodore Spinks answered

Specializes in Neurosurgery

You have options: You should discuss the details with his Neurologist and Neurosurgeon. However, the options range from switching to oral baclofen, to perhaps replacing the pump. Sometimes different locations work well for different patients.
