When did you start using mobility aids with Ehlers-danlos?

I am on and off my mobility aids but I ended up getting a walker when I had hip surgery and had also sprained my ankle on the other leg. It was SO helpful. Recently I had sprained both ankles and was in a wheelchair for a bit and that was also really helpful. I find that I just keep my medical assistance devices in my basement for when I need them because sometimes they're super needed and sometimes I'm fine.

I started using a body braces about six years ago, crutches for a while and then I got my first walking stick about 2 years ago (I am 23). It gives me a lot more freedom but sometimes a stick doesn't feel like enough, but I've not ventured into anything else yet.
