Sorry if this is a silly question. I have tripped over the door frame thing (it's a small raised metal frame thingy) a few times this week. Then today I fell down the stairs and skinned my arm. I don't know what happened. I didn't notice myself trip or anything like that I just suddenly was falling.
But I walk fine, and at the ALS Clinic a few weeks ago the neuro noted my muscle weakness in my UPPER leg, but said lower legs were okay. I thought falling happened due to lower leg/ankle weakness.
She did say I have low tone in my legs and I know what she means. They are very floppy and feels like jello when I'm trying to go down stairs. Maybe that's why I fell?
