Sounds like you mig-: Ht be having a knee joint problem, where knee gives way under you, making you stumble or fall. You need to be seen by an orthopod and would require a detailed examination + MRI to be properly diagnosed and treated. Good luck.

Many possibilities: Needs evaluation by rheumatologist to assess how much instability and perhaps by a physical medicine specialist or neurologist.
