Like you I have stenosis and degeneration issues in my back, thoracic and lumbar. I started falling in early December and like you I just fall down, but I cannot get back up and have absolutely no strength in my legs once I fall. I have fallen enough times that although I use a walker in the house, if I go out I am now in a wheelchair.
Falling down is just bizarre because you have little warning. I have cut my hand and needed stitches but most often I just get bruised up. Once I fall, I often wonder how I got down to the floor because one minute I’m standing and the next on the floor. I struggle with pain as well and use THC gummies to sleep. When I read your post I thought OMG this person is going through the same issue. Thank you for sharing, made me feel not so alone.
