I'm so sorry to hear that! Falling is scary! I sure hope you find out what is going on. And, oh boy, I have tripped and fallen in the chicken run. No fun. And it scares the chickens!
I fall quite a bit. Trying to make sure I wear the right shoes for the weather. Especially when it's wet. Since I am overweight I get off balance more than I used to. It would help if our ground were level, but it is sloped. Plus we live in the woods so lots of sticks, wet leaves, mud and of course chicken poo.
Sounds like my place.
Then the ups and downs in the yard create puddles in the rain. It's dangerous terrain for someone with leg issues!
My knees are in good shape said the ortho doctor. But I have knee pain and pains in other joints since I had lyme disease. It's best if I keep moving.Sounds like my place.
I went through a spell of falling a lot about 20 years ago. I don't have really great balance anyway, and that is hereditary, but something was going on and I never figured out what it was. I did have arthroscopic surgery on my knee, so that may have made the difference.
The first thing I learned was what you learned. Shoes make a big difference. I wont wear shoes with heels higher than 1 1/2 inches anymore.
You said "had". Does it go away? I thought it was a permanent malady once you got it. It's a devastating disease. It would be awesome if you could overcome it.
No, I don't think you can really get rid of it. I am trying to pretend it's a thing of the past.
Well, that means you have the symptoms under control, and that is very much like being over it.
