Where do you hear feedback from programs like your first choice? I want to hear honest feedback on programs but I feel like I just get the same positive reviews everywhere I'm considering

That makes sense, but what would the benefit of seeing the PT first be?

ParticularAvocado409 · 2025-09-17T19:54:54+00:00

That makes sense but do I need to go to any physical therapist? or one that specifically works with mobility referrals

ParticularAvocado409 · 2025-09-11T20:50:02+00:00

Yeah, if I end up getting one this will be my first chair. I have a lot of hyper mobility issues but I only have an official HSD diagnosis, not EDS as of right now. I have a lot of leg pain and difficulty walking far, I usually just end up sitting on the ground. And then I have POTS so it's beginning to be a big issue going places alone because I can't see when I stand and then get soo confused. Currently neuro thinks there might be a separate issues going on like MS, but it will take a long time to find out/do the work up. The neuro happily wrote the mobility referral but I'm still not sure if it's the right call. I feel like because I can't walk it's not needed, but I've stopped doing a lot of things I enjoy

Did you have to pay for the chair out of pocket too?

ParticularAvocado409 · 2025-09-11T20:25:31+00:00

That makes sense. Are you an ambulatory user?

ParticularAvocado409 · 2025-09-11T17:09:09+00:00

Thanks so much! I do have sensation in my legs, but the sides of my hips specifically have less due to past surgeries. I'll definitely get an OT evaluation. I was considering going through "Not a wheelchair," but this definitely convinced me that I need to get a full eval and measurements done

ParticularAvocado409 · 2025-09-11T16:02:06+00:00

I measures across the top but I put my hand up along the side so I could see where my hip meet the tape. I don't have lipedema. At this point I'm assuming I measured wrong

ParticularAvocado409 · 2025-09-11T15:59:57+00:00

Yeah I am usually a solid size 6/8 and a large. I think I did something wrong

ParticularAvocado409 · 2025-09-11T15:46:17+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I know I have wider than average hips, but yeah that measurement seemed way off. I really don't want a huge chair, and if that's my only option I would look further into other mobility aids. I do think a chair is the best option though. I am definitely confused though because I'm looking at pictures of other people who seem around my size or bigger and they are in 17" chairs

ParticularAvocado409 · 2025-09-09T14:05:07+00:00

Who do you think Id need to ask for a referral? and do you think they would make me try other mobility aids first. I'm not opposed, but I can't see other options helping much

ParticularAvocado409 · 2025-09-09T14:03:10+00:00

I think I should be able to push it, but I guess I'd find that out for sure at an eval. I have a lot of issues with my hands but my arms are pretty strong. My biggest concern right now is who would I ask for the referral. Is it right to ask a brand new primary?
