I also get an increase in balance problems from my meds. In my case it is the sheer volume of different meds plus the various medical conditions. I am glad to hear that you are not getting those migraines - I get them, too, and they are horrible. I celebrate your freedom, as I understand what that feels like! I'm also glad to hear that nothing is broken in the knee. It's so easy to chip a bone! Using a cane may help relieve some of the pain and stress on the bone to speed healing. I'm so pleased, to hear that you have a doctor who takes fibro seriously. I have one like that also, but I have heard so many stories from people who are written off rather than helped. Have a Merry Christmas! -Scribelle (Susan) oxo ---

Hi, Jesse, I fall down on occasion, not as much as you do. I will just have moments of uncoordination and will tumble but have not really gotten hurt, just skinned up a bit (knock on wood). I will walk into walls, door knobs and other things, though. I often have a bruise somewhere. If you are falling that much, maybe you should see a Neurologist or your Primary. Are you on any meds that cause drowsiness, loss of coordination, dizziness, etc...? I hope you'll get checked out soon! :) [Previous page](https://forum.livingwithfibro.org/t/falling-down/1155.md?page=1)
