Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

With this clinical history,it is mandatory for you to get physically examined by a neurologist.

MS is unlikely as the disease is progressive and not of relapsing nature.

Neuropathy has to be ruled out.Nerve conduction studies may be of help in diagnosis.

Please visit a neurologist in person.
