Another question - Strength

Ok so I get 5/5 for my strength tests off a physio - yet I can’t do any balance exercises cos my legs go really stiff. Baclofen also makes my legs really weak. Can anyone explain? I’m an awful place at moment.

I’m on Baclofen and Gabapentin so they can make legs really wobbly but, then again the spasticity stiffness makes the pins like dead weight. I suppose it’s a trade off, hope you can find the right balance.

I take bacoflen for stiffness and migrated off gabapentin for alpha lipoic acid for nerve pain.. I do chair yoga and pt exercises/stretching to strengthen my body. I feel strong when I carry heavy stuff initially but my endurance sucks.. cannot carry or do it for long periods of time.. I have noticed my balance is better as I focus on strengthening my core..
