Hello,
The symptoms mentioned by you are not characteristic of multiple sclerosis (MS). Burning sensation in calves and hands can be due to deficiency of vitamin-B12. Vitamin-B12 deficiency can also cause loss of balance. I suggest you to get a vitamin-B12 level after consulting your physician or neurologist for clinical assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
