Neurologist started me yesterday on 5 mg. baclofen to begin at bedtime starting with half tablet. Wonders of all I had a decent night's sleep with 90% of leg spasming (not cramps) that felt like someone was pulling my legs from toes to hips. Getting up to go to the bathroom was a trial with stiffness. Gabapentin and amitriptyline didn't resolve and I do take 200 mg. Of potassium glycinate at bedtime. This morning I got up and felt like I got much needed relief. I too get stiff and can barely move if I sit too long. Hoping this new baclofen will do the job. I have post polio syndrome which all Neuro tests confirm. Good luck to you in finding relief. I truly feel your frustration.

Thank you. It is very frustrating at times. I have written down these suggestions and will check my supplements but pretty sure that my acupuncturist started me on both glycinates
My new neurosurgeon is putting me on a series of prednisone pills to help with inflammation throughout my body. Couldn’t hurt…
