It sounds like you're experiencing significant muscle weakness in your legs, which is leading to frequent falls. Here are some tips from the knowledge base to help manage and prevent falls:

- Use Mobility Aids: Canes and walkers can provide stability. If you feel mostly stable but need a little support, a cane might be helpful. For more significant balance issues, a walker is recommended. Ensure you learn the proper way to use these aids from a physical therapist.
- Exercise: Engage in exercises that build strength and improve balance. Walking, Tai Chi, and simple movements in a swimming pool can be beneficial.
- Home Adjustments: Make your home safer by removing tripping hazards and installing aids like bed rails or portable standing assistants.
- Medication Review: Consult your doctor about any medications that might be causing dizziness or balance issues.
- Slow Movements: When standing up from a sitting position, do so slowly to avoid dizziness.

If you continue to experience falls, it's crucial to discuss this with your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan and explore further options.
