Ok a couple of weeks ago I fell in the morning walking down the stairs. I had upped my meds and well I was still really groggy in the morning and missed the last few steps. I hurt my left arm and my right knee and actually ended up on the floor and whacked my head into a wall. I didn't need medical attention though. Yesterday I slipped and fell very hard on my kitchen floor. Clean floor and new slippers - not a good combination. This time I hurt left arm and right leg again along with whacking the heck out of my left hip. Still did not seek medical attention although was in pretty good amount of pain. Today after Church I was walking down cement stairs that are very steep and the right knee said NOPE had enough and two steps from the bottom it gave out and now I look horrible all scraped up since I chose to wear a dress with leggings today. Still did not seek medical attention, but I am now in tons of pain. Just worried with everything I take and doses and such what to do, but man I am gonna need a wheelchair soon...

Oh man!! I'm so sorry to hear this! I hurt my back badly the other day by lifting my heavy doggie out of the car, and that was bad enough and it was just ONE injury. I can only imagine how much pain you are in from all these different injuries. I'm really sorry you've hurt yourself. Can you go and see your doctor on Monday?

Really hope you feel better soon

Stop falling already! Just teasing. You should get the knee checked, just in case. It's probably just swelling. Ice it up real good and try to rest it. Sorry you are hurt. Hope it gets better soon!!

So sorry you hurt yourself LaraLynn! You may just want to see the doctor to just make sure it's not serious.

OUCH! Good grief, you poor thing! That is a lot in a short time and I'm guessing it feels frustrating as well as painful... Hope everything starts feeling better soon, LaraLynn!

Sorry to hear your having these painful accidents. You should definatly see a doctor just to make sure nothing is wrong with your body after all those falls. You could also let him know that you think your meds may be causing or making it worse. It could be a simple fix like taking meds earlier in the evening so your not so groggy in the morning or taking less maybe even switching to a different one that might not make your mobility so affected. Whatever you decide to do i sure you hope things get better for you.
