Yep! I talk to med students about MS and my gait is used as an example of how someone with MS might walk. My left side is a bit weaker which has messed up my "timing". I can't run. I can't do treadmills. I can't walk as far as I used to. I walk with a stick. Self referral to a neuro-physio helped me (I'm in the UK).
I’ve got that gait. Especially bad when walking outside. I also sway from side to side when waiting to cross the road which can be very unnerving and unsteadying. Currently using a walking stick for short walks but have been referred for walking assessment and if I need any additional walking aids.
