Kept on falling and 4 stitches at the hospital!

I am in a wheelchair only when I leave my home. In the home I use a walker.i have problems losing feeling in my legs as well. I also get muscle cramps. Good luck in what you decide.

I walked with a cane but began using a wc to conserve energy which it does. I have pt twice a week walk at clinic and walk around house if someone is at home in case I fall. Good luck to you.

Hi there
David uses a wheel chair when he is out and about, at home he uses a cane (and when he is just popping down the street for bread and milk) if we are going to walk a fair distance maybe walking longer than 30mins he will take the chair as his legs just start to give out and he falls a lot

Started using a wheelchair when unable to walk more than a few yards with walker. Also if I needed to get somewhere quickly like toilet.

I use a wheelchair/scooter when out as I can't walk far with the walk which I use inside. I now use it all the time outside as I overbalance, trip, lose strength, get too exhausted to function. You will know when you need to use it. Good luck.

When started having problems walking, I did not want to go into a wheelchair. I thought I was doing good by staying up to the chair but my world shrank. Slowly over time I did less and less.

After I was homebound for a couple of years I decided to get a power chair. It was amazing I could take my dog for a walk's. I would run to the store and get a few groceries. My world opened up.

I was having trouble with foot drop, fatigue, coordination, and balance. I found that once I use the power chair for outside activities I was not as tired. I could do more and my mood improved, I could do more things for myself. Go places for myself,

Now looking back on it I wish I went into the chair of lot of years earlier. Once I had the chair I used it for longer outings. For short trips or inside I would walk with my cane. I could choose to use the chair or not.
