Hello, You need detailed investigations to find the cause of the disease. It can be related to structural problems in the brain and spinal cord, degenerative disorders and genetic problems. MRI of the brain and spinal cord helps to rule out many causes. Medication depends on the cause of the disease. I personally feel you should also see a neurologist for a detailed evaluation and investigations like MRI, nerve conduction study and few blood tests. Continue to do physical exercises to keep your muscles and gait healthy. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
