A member asked:
My knee has been giving out multiple times a day. it will just go weak. i have peripheral neuropathy. i also had a fall on my back before this started but it is just one knee. any help appreciated or ideas as to what this is?

Orthopedic specialis: If you're concerned about knee pathology, consult an orthopedic specialist for evaluation and advice. You may be falling because of your peripheral neuropathy. Your neurologist can advise you about this and about getting physical therapy and leg or ankle braces to aid in gait and balance.
