Hello and welcome to Mayo Connect. We are a community of people living with a wide variety of conditions, who share our journeys and try to help one another along the way. We are not medical professionals, so cannot provide medical advice, but we can share our own experiences and try to give you some ideas.

Are you willing to share a little about any medical conditions and symptoms you have, other than the tendency to fall? Balance issues can be caused by many different conditions in ear, brain, muscles and nervous systems, so we would like to know a few details in order to help you. Also, how long has this problem been going on, have you consulted a doctor, had any tests, or received a diagnosis?

Thanks, we'll try to connect you with others who might help.
Sue

I WAS HAVING BALANCE PROBLEMS FOR AWHILE, ALWAYS FALLING OR TRIPPING. ITS BEEN BETTER FOR A MONTH OR SO. TODAY I WAS OUT WALKING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA FALL ON MY FACE. A BLACKBERRY VINE DID TRIP ME US SENDING ME RIGHT INTO THE BUSHES. I LANDED ON MY SIDE, RIB AND HIP. HAD TO GET HOME, ONLY A FEW BLOCK BUT THE WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA JUST TOPPLE RIGHT OVER. I GRABBED MY NEIGHBORS TRASHCAN SO I WOULDN'T FALL BUT DAMN NEAR
