Im not sure whats going on, doc says probably arthritis but also possibly exacerbated by the vitamin D issue ...
I keep falling
I have fallen 3 times in a little over a month, each time resulting in my slamming my knee into the ground and ending with bruising, pain, swelling, the works.
It has been suggested that i consider some type of mobility aid, at least for at home in the evenings when its worse and/or when out and doing lots of walking (museums/zoo with the kids etc)
I have resisted so far, it makes me feel old, but at this point.... I cant keep doing this. Last time I fell was yesterday, and i was just starting to recover from the one before that 2 weeks earlier.
Anyone using a cane/walker/aid of some sort and want to share their experiences?
