AynaDee,

I'm sorry you are having such a tough time. I'm also sorry to have to tell you this, but if you are falling every day, then you've likely already passed the point at which a cane would be appropriate. Balance that is that poor cannot be compensated for enough with a cane. A rollator or walker would be more appropriate (especially if out of the house.)

Have you had a PT evaluation for a mobility assessment? That is what I would recommend. I am an OT and my dh is a PT and he agrees that more than just a cane is probably needed.

Again, so sorry you are going through this.
