What made you start using specific mobility aids ? (Chronic pain)
Like, when did you decide to use a mobility aid (or a different one) ?
I'm asking cause I have chronic pain especially in my legs and feet, struggle a lot to stand still even with a walking stick even if it's helping a bit with slow walking, but most of the time its bother me to have something in my hands (or around it, like attach to my wrist) as I'm particularly clumsy. I use it at con most of the time, but I struggle to take it in my daily life, I don't know what to do with it while walking fast and I kinda struggle with the fact I have to explain things to people who seen me before, or when I have to use it one day but the next one I'm okay.
I don't think I'm in pain "enough" everyday tho, cause when health professionals ask I don't know what to answer, like if it's a good day I'm like "I'm okay :)" like the bad days didn't exist and I wonder if I'm not just exaggerating my pain 😅
Btw I decorated it so it's not just 'cause of that !
I'm currently diagnosed with fibromyalgia but doing exams to rule out everything else, and maybe know if it's EDS.
I wrote a lot, sorry if my English isn't perfect, I'm exhausted and french 😅
