@@fairgge -- I have no answers for you and won't waste our time with speculation. All I can offer is the suggestion that you use a cane for support for as long as keeps you from falling. You probably don't like hearing it, but the alternate may be broken bones or concussion. While you're being tested, examined and prodded for the source and a solution, do whatever will keep you upright.

If the falls have been not frequent and you have some warning signs before, you might prefer a collapsible cane which you can whip out when needed. I think they're made of sections on a bungee cord or similar. I've never seen them in places like CVS, so you might need to visit a surgical supply store to try one out.

If two canes of any type will have you feeling more secure on your feet, go for it. Maybe one of each type -- the regular one for regular use and the other when additional support is indicated.

Consider a walker, too. Your safety is more important now than vanity.

Thank you this is good info. What do you use the Tens unit on which brand did you buy. I have heard of the inversion tables I am a bit afraid of them

Also below did this mean you had pain in a area that wasn't expected my MRI show right side but pain is in my hip left side not my back.

You: Repeated series of pain that didn't follow a pattern they expected
