Considering a cane for balance issues

I'm thinking about getting a cane to help me when I'm in a place I'm able to walk. I've been losing my balance a lot in the last few months and I'm trying to prevent falls. Do y'all think this is a good idea?

Definitely! While I don’t use one personally, I have friends who do including my mom for the same exact reason! She has a couple foldable canes that she keeps in her purse or in the car so she has it on hand for when she needs it!
