I have been having problems falling lately, and falling hard, especially while walking outside for exercise. I don't know the cause yet, but next week, I have doctor's appts. with my pdoc, a neurologist (first time to see her), and as it happens, I had scheduled in May to see my primary care doctor for an annual exam next week. I'll be doing nothing but going to doctors next week...ugh.
I promised my husband I would stop walking for exercise, but it has been driving me crazy not to walk. This morning, I broke that promise and walked for an hour (just over 4 miles). I was OK and didn't fall, but it does seem to me I may also need to see the chiropractor as my right leg seems to have come out of my hip correctly again. They always say it's a "short leg". This is a problem I have had this problem frequently since my pregnancy 10 years ago when I had horrible problems with my sacroileac joint on my right side. I guess if the neurologist can't fix the leg, I might be going to the chiropractor or at least my youngest sister. She has been a stay-at-home mom for over 7 years now, but in college she double-majored in nutrition & physical therapy. She worked awhile with physical therapy, but told me it is hard to do adjustments or the proper massages without the right equipment, especially a table, but sometimes she can do stuff on the floor, like one time when I had terrible neck issues. Maybe the leg being out is causing some of the falling issues.
Now, I feel horrible about breaking my promise to my husband. He was & is still asleep, so I don't have to tell him, but I probably should, I guess? I don't know, what should I do? And why is it I keep doing what I shouldn't like going walking, overspending money, delaying cleaning my office which looks like a hurricane hit it?
