not too personal at all, don’t worry! i get a lot of pain all over my body when i walk (back, hips, knees, ankles, feet, most likely from fibromyalgia but i need that checked again) and it just helps me along and gives me some independence, before i got it i was hanging on to my mums arm wherever we went OTL plus i have bad balance and trip over my own feet or wobble without it, i even fell over once and it was very disorienting

don’t feel bad about that at all, i don’t use it in my house whatsoever since all the floors are level and flat, i only use it when i go out! if a cane would help you along and make your life a little bit easier and less painful then there is no shame in that whatsoever, if you think it would help you then i highly encourage you to try one out!! a lot of them are very affordable, it’s worth a shot!!
