Better make it a luke warm tub for MS..

Klonopin, magnesium, calcium help my tight muscles. PT helps. Can't get in the tub because I live alone and it wouldn't be safe, so I use a shower. The warm water in the shower is as good as the tub, anyway. I haven't gotten around to Epsom salts because it would involve putting down a pan, picking it up, and I can't pick it up without spilling it.
So the magnesium I take by mouth helps, probably similarly to Epson salts' magnesium.
This helps for myoclonus too (jerking of legs, spasticity).

I just started on magnesium. I had Klonopin before and I did not feel good on it. The warm showers do help along with the PT. It at least gives me temporary relief.

The only time I can use a hot tub is in the late fall or winter when it is outside or in a room with all windows open. My sister has a Florida room that she uses all year long. In the winter she just opens all the windows. The windows are all the way around and floor to ceiling. It's wonderful. We sit out there and watch Survivor in it for an hour.

yes, I have would have it outside. Here in Cleveland, the weather is always changing and it would be nice for the long winters.
