Spasticity - great word!

Still in the throes of diagnosis. I was prescribed Baclofen for my left leg but reacted badly including losing all balance and having double vision. Then moved to Gabapentin. My left leg has now swollen and I cannot wear my trousers let alone shoes... What next? Your experience please…
