Does anyone else have problems with frequent falls?  I have fallen six times in six weeks!  My left leg slides out like I am doing the splits.  I have absolutely no control over it.  I end up dropping down on my right knee—which stays bruised and swollen.  When I fall I hit my pelvis hard and pull my hamstring so badly that the back of my leg bruises from my pelvis to just below my knee.  I totally loose feeling in my left leg when I fall.  Then it has sever pins and needles with a deep deep ache.  Finally I get feeling back in my leg.  However, for several days afterward, I experience, weakness, pins and needles and cramps off and on, with a constant underlying deep ache.  I have fallen wearing shoes, barefooted, and while using a cane.  I don’t know what to do!
