Hello everyone,

I Have been dealing with weakness in my feet, and lower legs for about two years now, one day at work I found it impossible to keep my balance without stumbling around. Several people have commented on my gait which lead me to feel extremely self conscious, finally I went to my primary care doctor who referred me to a neurologist. I had nerve conduction studies performed in my lower legs that turned out pretty poor, MRI came back negative on anything in my back, and hands and arms are in great shape yet. I just found out about this earlier this year. I have worked as an electrician for 13 years now, my duties keep me on my feet most of the day, including ladders, lifting, and other activities that are getting harder. I am in my early 30's and scared to death about the future.. I have not yet had genetic testing, and there is nobody in my family with the same symptoms.
What should I expect? How bad will this get?
