Looking for Advice on Getting a Cane

I’ve tried multiple different canes from off-label sites as they are cheaper, but I will save you the time and money. With any accessibility aid, expensive usually means good quality. I actually use a forearm crutch from the company Cool Crutches based in the UK. it not only helps with POTS complications, but with balance and stability which are equally important. If you aren’t interested in that brand, I suggest going to a professional instead of an online site such as Amazon, as those canes can cause long-term damage. Hope this helps!

I was really worried about getting a walking stick & I hated the one I was given by the nhs. I found it helped to get a more personalised walking stick in a colour or pattern that reflects your personality, I've tried to do this with all my mobility aids/braces as it makes me feel more confident. Unfortunately you always get rude people out there but at the end of the day if it helps your mobility/pain what other people think doesn't matter & you do become more confident with time.

I was like that before I got my first walking stick. Don't get me wrong, you'll still get some people look at you like you're faking, but it helps me such a lot. I'm more independent and have more freedom using one. My favourite sticks are from neo walks, but I started off by getting a fairly cheap adjustable one from amazon to see if it would help first. If you have any questions I'm happy to answer them :)
