Hi Sarah, I found your video searching for the exact thing you described (someone telling about their experience using a cane) since I am currently looking into getting one for my chronic pain and fatigue. I wonder if it might be helpful for you to look into 'impostor syndrome', 'internalized ableism' and 'ableism' in general, it might explain some of the difficult and complex feelings you are describing
Thank you for this video. Like you, I was looking for experiences and there aren’t many videos. But yours was just what I needed. I relate so much to some of your issues with internalised ableism - it’s so tricky. I used a walking stick for the first time a week ago and it made such a difference.
I’m so sorry that you are dealing with this. I walk with mobility aid because of my hip and knees. I would really recommend a walker to help you carry things. It also provides a lot more balance for you. it really works for me and it’s one of my favorite mobility aids
I know this an old post but is there any update on your condition because Im the same and I got diagnosed with fibro is this what you were diagnosed with in the end or was it something else?
Great vid Sarah hope u guys fine take care with the weather just been workin at murrayfield today on way back now wind was really bad gettin worse queensferry crossing supposed to be closed sometime after midnight :)x
Iv got the same problem fibro and I’m in pain all the time and iv got a stick to help with the school run but I can’t get my head around using it and the embarrassment so I have not used it yet I have a blue badge but I still can’t get my head around going out with it I do the school run every day and I have to walk 3 miles a day as I don’t drive I just don’t like the feeling about the questions with my anxiety and depression it’s just a nightmare
