I started using a cane when I was 16 because of balance issues, lower back, and hip pain. Im
Now 23 and my health issues have gotten worse in some ways and better in others, but I haven’t used my cane in a few years, mainly because my shoulders and wrists hurt so bad most days.

And partially because im ashamed, I very much come from a “if you can do without help, no matter how hard it is, you have to do without it” but that’s an issue for another thread.

Im just curious if I ever get to the point where I feel comfortable using a mobility aid again, is there an alternative that won’t hurt my shoulders that isn’t a wheelchair?
