A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm thinking of looking into buying a cane for a while now

I have a plain cane . I would get one that folds can be made to different height and can stand on it own

I use a Hurricane and have done so for years. It is light, foldable with carrying case, height adjustable, wide 3 toe base, and replaceable parts.

There's a mobility store near me and the staff there are very helpful. Don't know if there's one near you.

Whatever cane you choose there are additional parts you can add. I'm considering getting a broader stand with 3 ends rather than just 1 to add stability. It's available at a local pharmacy.

I've used a folding cane for travel. If I don't need it, someone else on my tour might.

Using a cane was a status symbol in earlier times. Years ago I bought one for my father that had a pool cue inside.

@A MyFibroTeam Member maybe get a golf glove. I think they help with grip.
