@hopeful33250,
I am an avid exerciser and I had to stop because it caused me to have severe pain for several hours after, because I have stopped moving, my condition has become more severe than ever, thus my research into a Baclophen pump.

Hmmm, I'm sorry to hear that, @sharonalllen.

Do even gentle stretches cause you pain? You might check out YouTube videos with the search set for "seated exercises for seniors." Also, Parkinson's patients have the same type of spasticity so you might find "exercises for Parkinson's" to be helpful. I've also used YouTube Tai-Chi for beginners (there are some 9 minute Tai-Chi for beginners YouTube videos).

Ever tried any of these?
