The walker chairs are also very good and allow you to always have a seat and leaning support. I checked online and depending what country you're in Chemist wearhouse Australia has one for $99.99. They can be pricey but they are worth it. The forearm crutches are also good but do require a bit more effort. Wishing you all the best. :)
