Default Should I be panicking yet?

I've been having a bad month with walking.

Started out just feeling a bit weaker. Then about a week and a half ago, I had a weird virus of some sort, where I had a fever for about three days. Highest the fever got was about 103F on one of the days.

Now I'm having more problems walking. I HAVE to use a rollator walker to get around, and I can hardly get around. My neuro is out of the office (as it seems like he usually is whenever I have a problem). I went to my regular doctor yesterday, and he prescribed some physical therapy, but other than that didnt seem all that concerned. He didnt really watch me walk much tho. (used a cane to get into his office, and kind of wall walked thru the place)

I think my walking is worse today than it was yesterday. Should I be panicking yet? Every time I feel like panicking about a symptom, I end up with someone telling me it's not a big deal. I think walking is kind of a big deal, and if I'm nearly falling down half the time, that might be a problem.

Is now an appropriate time to start panicking?
