From the Mayoclinic's description it doesn't sound like it's related to MS.

Hi,

I'm not sure why you have that diagnosis but a couple of questions immediately came to mind.

Is your gait altered (e.g can you walk normally or climb a set of stairs)? How far can you walk? Does one foot drag?
Do you think one side of your pelvis is higher than the other?
Are you slightly stooped when standing or alternately have your shoulders slightly back rather than over your hips?
Can you stand on one leg?
Have you been checked for peripheral artery disease?

Regards,
