This morning as I was taking my dog out going down the stairs, my knee just gave out and luckily, I just fell/sat on the bottom stair while holding on to the railing. I need something to stop what's happening to me and my knee besides a new knee.

I'll suggest that you have it reevaluated since it fell out from under you. May have torn ligaments and/or muscles.

Second, not having a functional knee causes other issues - they are prone to falling which can cause serious injury even death, the pain/non-function can cause poor physical fitness/overweight problems and the inability to be able to socialize with others can cause psychological issues.

Sorry to say this, but your situation appears bad enough to reconsider a knee replacement.
