Me, too, Snoopy! I have a collection of canes.....quad, Hurry-Cane, regular tip cane......none of them are the least bit helpful to me! If anything, they hinder my walking and do absolutely nothing to help my balance.

I just had eight visits from a physical therapist to help with my balance and I now have exercises to do each day.
