1st time using a cane...
I have a few canes at the house from when the hubby had 2 broken heels.
I guess it was one night this week after an 8 hr shift I wondered if I tried it out would it help.
My original pain had started in my back shoulder area but over the yrs started into my right hip & going straight down into my toes & prior to pills in 08 my right side started crunching up, like literally just siezing & not working well.
After an 8hr shift @ work, I am usually feeling tingled & swollenness throughout the right hip leg n toes.I am at the end of my XR release pills cus I work till 12:30 am but starting sun I change to latest 10:30pm, so that will cut back on my pain.Now that we have no pill coverage I had to 1/2 my Baclofen to 3 pills a day from 6.So i know that has made things worse at the end of a shift for 6 months.
So I tried a cane last night & WOWOW, what pressure off of my leg & feet & it made a diffrerence in my moving quicker even.I dunno how many times I will need it but I am open to it!!Dunno about other then after work but maybe just when needed.
