Do daily stretching...
Go to the National MS Society's main page and 'search' their stretching exercises which should be printed out. They have them for you to do and you to do with a helper if need be.
They were designed by a therapist and they stretch all your muscles and bend all your joints. They do not take long to do and greatly help.
I too take Baclofen; 180mg daily. Down the road another solution is a Baclofen Pump. I'm fortunate because Baclofen does not make my tired or weak.
However, getting it from one manufacturer made me sleep 3 1/2 hours after taking one 20mg Baclofen pill. I asked the pharmacist to switch manufacturers and I was no longer sleepy when taking my Baclofen.
Swimming through your National MS Society is a great way to exercise and is free. Belonging to the NMSS is free as well. By going through your local NMSS's swimming classes, they are run by trained therapists who talk you through the easy, beneficial exercises.
Take care.
