Help with Spasticity

I am a 36 yr old woman who had recently been diagnosed with MS almost 3 yrs ago.

My biggest problem is spasticity. Everyday my muscles feel like im carrying anchors on my calves and quads. My legs feel so heavy as i try to lift them just to walk. I try stretching and exercise to no avail.

Muscle relaxers do just that, they relax my muscles to really all jittery and make me super tired.

Please, if anybody has any tips or pointers that has worked for them please share!!! Sincerly, Desperate to walk
