First question - spasticity or what?

Last year I saw 2 physios as I wanted to improve my mobility. Each time I did the exercises, I got really really stiff legs. Fast forward to December I was diagnosed. Relapsing remitting. However any time I do physio now I get the same stiffness in legs. I have taken Baclofen etc but it just makes legs weak. Anyone have similar experiences?

Stiffness in legs makes walking harder. But I want to improve balance. The meds so far do not help. Baclofen and Tinzanzidine make them weaker. Gabapebtin does nothing.

Is suffer with spasticsity but just in one leg. The physiotherapist said doing the exercises is short-term pain for long-term gain as in I will get more stiffness the day after but in months and years after it does it good.
