My suggestion is to get a rollabout for when you are out of the house. This will minimize the damage you are causing. Also if you have a walker handy, I use this as a bed cradle. Works great to keep the blankets off my feet.

... i use a walker, roller, wheel chair.. thing from drive.. .. and have used it at night to support the right leg.. at least until my let leg spread.. now no blankets
on me ... as far as limp yelper really bad and thats with a cane. even when i use a walker... there are even times i use two canes at once. the limp effects my hip and lower back a lot and the use of canes, and walker effects my neck as well as hands and arms.. no win situation really..
