I posted before about falling over.
It happened again today. Left ankle gave out with no warning on the stairs at my dentist. Went over forward with my right foot, fell to the floor.
Managed to get upright after signing safety forms for dentist and drive slowly home.
Foot up, iced with crutches (which I didn't have chance to return from when I fell down our own stairs, sigh) I am in so much pain.
I am sick of being in pain, of falling over and dropping things with no notice.
Doctors said to just have to get used to it :(
Luckily neurologist ruled out anything bad last month.
I have thyroid issues, bowel problems, sleep apnoea and always exhausted.
But this falling over is really upsetting me. I take care on the stairs, I hold on to the bannister and go slowly and I still fall.
I never use to be like this :( Clumsy yes but never falling over and twisting my ankle regularly.
Sprained my left ankle three weeks ago, which just stopped hurting. Now this.
What can I do !
