Considering a Mobility Aid: When is it Time?

i find myself thinking a lot about how much easier my life would be with a mobility aid (besides the usual tape/braces), how did y'all know it was time for one?

I started using my cane when my hip started dislocating and the pain was so bad I could barely walk, but I knew it was time for my wheelchair when my POTS symptoms got worse and then started having seizures that would sometimes leave me unable to walk. That and the very painful muscle contractions in my legs.
