Stumbling and walking issues :(

Not been on here in a while but the advice from the posters is on point as usual. I've been struggling with balance and walking for the last 6 months, culminating with a couple of falls this week. I was diagnosed with RRMS in 2016 and I'm on Copaxone DMD. I have not had to use walking aids up to press. Do I contact my MS nurse or doctor. Any thoughts?

@piper71a , I would contact your MS Nurse in the first instance. Balance and walking issues suggest that your core strength needs addressing, so a Neuro-physio assessment is a good start. The MS Nurse should be able to arrange.

I'd contact your MS nurse, if I were you. I was diagnosed MS when I had serious balance problems, so it's a possible symptom. Maybe just call/mail the nurse for advice on this? They mostly have a better idea of what to do.
