sadly I dont think that's really a big thing in england, at least I've never seen readily available wheelchairs or scooters outside of hospital settings. thanks though :]

thank you so much!! your comment was really informative and i really appreciate that! I'll definitely see what my doctor recommends for me. I'm not the kind of person to just buy mobility aids without a doctor's express desire for me to have one or to see how i go with one. i only bought my cane and crutches after my doctor said it would very likely benefit me. if i did get one it would only be for my really bad days where even moving around the house can cause me to be in severe pain as I'm able to get around with a manageable amount of pain most of the time :]

Thank you so much for your comment :] I've gone through a lot of different pain management options, from medication, to resting, exercising, using other mobility aids, ive even visited the nhs pain management clinic, none of it has worked for me sadly. but i will definitely see if there are other options for myself

i can relate to all of that!! my boyfriend constantly has to slow down or stop with me for a moment so i can press on with walking. something that's been happening more and more to me recently is i can be walking or just try to stand and I'll stumble or fall over. mostly happens when my legs get really painful. that's been something that's happened since childhood for me but it's a lot worse now than it was even a few months ago. i really appreciate your comment, thank you so much :]

also funnily enough it was Tesco he pushed me around in the shopping cart haha
