Do you have gait disturbances all the time? Or only after a workout?

If all the time, I'd consider getting DNA testing for CMT.
Typical sensory PN does not cause gait disturbances in the beginning.

Some of the more progressive ones like GBS (which can follow a vaccine), or some from food poisoning (like Campylobacter) will progress to motor impairment. But these are usually swift.

Autoimmune disease like Lupus, may also affect motor. Those can be tested for.
