I had +babinski +hoffmans +clonus hyperreflexia cant walk heel/toe and fall to the r. mri of brain was normal so does that mean all is fine, what next?

Further work up : You are describing an exam consistent with some form of spasticity. In addition to an mri of the brain that you had, you need an mri of the cervical spine to look for spinal cord compression and a full neurological evaluation to rule out ALS, both of which can cause the signs and symptoms you are describing.
