Abby, Your arms may be okay now but they soon won't be if you are using two canes!!! A walker or one of those walkers with a seat is much better for staying steady. I can almost see the cartoon of you going flying, with the canes in the air, and you in a dust pile on the ground. If your balance is off, any PT or neuro will tell you that two canes is a disaster waiting to happen. Sorry to be so blunt but it's dangerous.

And doctors can prescribe those things so you can get them paid for. If you are a high fall risk, then you need to get help!

When my back was bad last summer and I used a cane, my arm muscles got completely fried. I thought I could make it to a family event with a cane instead of a walker. Really stupid. My back just got worse too.

Seriously, be careful.
