a walking stick instead of a cane, last year. Especially when it is slippery out.
Canes are more for weight bearing. I found a reasonable walking stick at
Dunhams, and it works well for me for the balance issues.
My feet have more balance problems than needing weight bearing removed.
Mine is sort of like this one:

I have a cedar one up North, that I made, which is more sturdy for walking on the rocky shore.
Crutches and canes can throw your back out, hurt the shoulders etc.
I can commiserate with you however...most of my problems result from falls!
