See details: Then see a neurologist and have the issue evaluated. This can be a serious problem.

Visit a neurologist: And have Emg/NCV studies performed. It almost sounds like you may have a dropfoot. I would recommend intense physical therapy and if still having an issue you can be fitted with an ankle foot orthotic which hopefully would prevent further falling.
