When i walk my legs are shaky and not that stable. a few weeks ago i literally fell down because of that. i do some walking daily despite this and its usually the worst right when i stand up. it's been like this for months. why? should i be concerned?

You need a physical exam and testing (lab work & possibly imaging) by your primary doctor. Your primary doctor may then refer you to a neurologist for more detailed testing and diagnosis. There are many things that can cause weakness in the extremities, like medications, neurological disorders, or spinal nerve impingement. Do not delay in getting this evaluated.
