Canes/walking Sticks

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Forest Park, GA

Hello, I live in Georgia there is many hills and I'm noticing that I'm having many issues with my knees and hips ankles and toes and bottom of my feets so I'm scared of walking I'm holding on to things because it seems that I'm stumbling and I'm in pain in those areas so my question is do I ask my rheumatologist for a prescription for a cane or do I purchase one myself?

Love my walker-rollator. I stack flakes of hay on the seat when I feed my goats. Don't think that is the original intent of the walker but it keeps me upright on rough terrain and when done I can turn around and sit to ease my back. I just wish they made all terrain walkers as wider tires would be a big help.

I love my roller-walker too. Especially in crowds. Can sit on it when I stop to talk with people.

Love your use of canes. I definitely have to get a better one. Perhaps a cane wardrobe to go with my mood or occasion. Please let me know if you come across an all terrain waller.

Well I got my cane today I had my appointment with my rheumatologist and she increase the dosage of my meds and she felt the heat coming from my joints today so I feel more secure and safe having the cane for those stiff hard days.

I'm in the UK so not much help but occupational therapy gave me a rollator/walker that's a big help. They also arranged walking sticks
