May 13, 2009 5:48 PM I love my walker. I also have to use wheelchair for when I need to be on my feet like cooking, washing dishes, housework in general. The wheelchair is for degeneration of spine. Cons:Watch out for loose rugs, haha |

April 17, 2009 8:58 PM I use my walker all the time to be able to walk with the neuropathy pain in my legs. Sometimes the walker holds me up. Now I have osteoarthritis and my walker is now doubly valuable. I hope not for life but for now it's absolute. Pros:Stability while walking and even holding me up. Also, the seat is wonderful to have to sit down when I'm exhausted. Cons:Having to transport the walker is difficult at times. You can't use stairs, not tha I really could. People don't always have very good reactions to me when they see me in line with them or going where they are going. |

April 17, 2009 7:11 PM I love my walker. It has the seat and basket, as well, so I can sit when I need. I usually use it when I have dizzy spells due to damage in my inner ear, but I also use it when neuropathy and/or fibromyalgia keep me down. Currently I'm using it because I broke my ankle in a fall down the stairs 2 weeks ago. Ouch! I'm so thankful I have one. Pros:Handy, portable,light weight, so many uses! Cons:Absolutely none! |

March 31, 2009 11:06 PM I have a walker, had to use it after knee surgeries... When I was first going for walks again, I'd use it to when I went for short walks. Then I graduated to a cane, then free. I kept it however and after my bike accident I was glad I had one... I still use it on days when fibromyalgia flare ups are especially bad... with knee replacement, falling is a disaster... Most of the time I don't need one, but it is a good thing to have available... Pros:safety Cons:could get more dependent on them than we need to be... something to be aware of... |

March 2, 2009 1:46 AM I have a walker, use it for knee problems mainly but have a cane for my diabetic neuropathy to use when having troubles. Pros:Help to get around for basic things. Cons:Of course not able to move around normally, but I just feel so low when I have to use either one...kind of not human which I know is not the case but its just something inside my head that gets to me. weird eh? |

March 1, 2009 7:16 PM I had to use a walker for 8 months last year when I broke my knee. I couldn't use crutches. Then I moved to a cane for a couple of months and now I only use the cane to get up and down our front step. Cons:Walkers make ur arms real tired especially when u use one without wheels on and u have to lift it to get around. Like I had to do. |
