How do you feel about falling?

We had a stair lift installed last year. Prices range from $ 4,000 - 7,000. It was worth it to us...cheaper than a remodel and I feel safer.

I’ve not fallen but I too am scared of falling. I live in Manitoba and have snow/ice for months.

I use a spiked walking stick whenever I’m outside, even to go to the car and Nordic walking poles for walks.

Without the poles, I shuffle like like an old person. I am 78 and active.

I too am afraid of falling on ice, live in MI. During the winter, husband and I use a treadmill for exercise and just stay indoors on the icey days.

I have had a complete hip replacement. Even though this was two years ago I am still terrified of falling. I still use a cane to walk, even though my surgeon says it is unnecessary. I also am careful about the way I walk. No shuffling. You must be careful to life each foot with each step.

Why not just get a walker? My husband used one when he was having balance issues and felt very secure with it, no falling worries at all...good luck !

Yes to strength, core and balance training. I'm 75 and have no major health issues other than normal aging concerns. It's important to keep track of medications and discuss any that may affect balance with your PCP. I usually get a good quality sleep each night, but if not, I have some difficulty with coordination.
