Is Soma Advisable For Pain And Stiffness In Legs?

Hi I am diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis. I have a lot of stiffness on my both legs and I have difficulty in walking because of the muscle stiffness and spasms. I have taken Baclofen and Zanaflex and none of them work anymore at all. Recently a pain management doctor prescribed Soma for me. I took it for 2 days and am very satisfied with the result as my muscles are relaxed and I can walk almost normally. I only take 1 pill 350Mg at night before bed. Do you think there is any problem with taking this medication for me? I never overdose any medication. I also had severe pain on my legs, which is gone since I started Soma. I also take Gabapentin, Gilenya and Duloxetime 30MG, Ampyra (twice daily). I appreciate your help.
