Hello
You didn't mention your age as this was an important in this case .
Frequent falling down with no prior signal may be due to .
1 Osteoporosis as in this disease bone become weak and fragile and liable to break any time ( as in your case ) . Diagnosis can be confirmed by estimation of bone density level as well blood calcium level with cholecalciferole ( vitamin D 3).
2 Peripheral neuropathy may be the another reason of such symptoms . Diagnosis can be confirmed by neurological examination including C T scan of bone and M R I of nerves.
3 Raunaud's disease is another such cause ( because of heavy smoking history ) .
However there are so many other reasons of such symptoms but consult a physician and get his opinion .
