I would get a second opinion. Go to a Univeristy clinic connected to a Medical School.

Agree with Dr Grim, as it is time to see a new team at a nearby medical school. In meantime, engage in physical therapy, and exercise to stabilize symptomatology. Ask your doctor about anti-spasticity medications.
