[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t even know if this belongs in health or which forum, but feels most appropriate here. 46 years old. Heading down hardwood stairs in socks with my teen’s Stanley in hand to fill it up and I slipped and slid down the stairs. Banged my elbow and thigh. I’m fine but…I feel old. It’s a reminder I’m less than halfway from a fall being the difference between life and death. At 46 I can manage—I’m sure I’ll have a nasty bruise as a result but 20-30yrs from now-this could take me out. And the worst part about this was my teen coming after me going mom, mom are you okay? Just a kick in the pants. Goodnight.  [/quote]

I used to fall and I just thought that I slipped but turns out I had a pinched nerve and one day, I kept falling and had to have an emergency lumbar fusion and the quad in my leg had atrophied.  I was in locked leg brace for almost a year. I couldn't drive and I had to learn to walk again.  So, please, if you fall again, see an orthopedist.
