MS symptoms?

A neighbor of mine had Parkinson's. When she would have a fall, it would be backwards not forwards. Her DH told me this is common. He bought her a special walker that helped.

No. My mom has MS and mobility has gotten worse. She has weakness down one side of her body, and blindness. But, also with MS its like you cannot compare to the other. I have a cousin with MS as well, and she gets tired and has weakness, but doesn't do a lunge forward thing. Have you looked into parkinsons? They tend to suffer from uncontrolled movements. If I am not mistaken, a spinal tap can be done to confirm MS diagnosis. Its been so long for my mom and her brain lesions ate so bad there is no questions its MS. She gets MRIs once a year due to accidents she has to see if she has gotten worse.

Personally, I would find a neurological chiropractor.

Our spine being out can cause many symptoms that a medical doctor won't be able to diagnosis because they never consider alignment as being a problem.

Brain science is, as some doctors will say, anything but an exact science. That is, the answers are not always hard and fast, and are sometimes very nebulous. I would do all the research you are able to on lesions that suggested MS 20 years ago not now suggesting them. Do definitely talk with PT people; they often are smarter than doctors on some of these things in my opinion as a lifelong nurse. I think perhaps also it is at this point not so much of crucial importance what the "cause" of this is--aging brain and MS both have few "cures" for us to reach out for once diagnosed; more important is the daily living activities. Sorry you are dealing with this. For my brother, before his death a few years ago, came a diagnosis of "probable" early Lewy's dementia, and in all truth the diagnosis was from his own subjective reporting of his symptoms. They do the best they can but again, much depends on their knowledge of the daily manifestations of a disease, how often they see and treat it, how good the machinery is at diagnosing it.
