Does the symptom difficulty walking mean that i have becker muscular dystrophy?

Hmm.: Hard to say - if this refers to you... 31 is a bit "old" for the syndrome but milder forms are seen in older people... Not sure where/why your jumping to this conclusion, ie people with md have difficulty walking but most people with difficulty walking don't have md... http://mda.org/disease/becker-muscular-dystrophy/signs-and-symptoms.

No: Difficulty walking can occur due to many reasons. Becker muscular dystrophy is one of those reasons... But it is rare compared to most other causes.
