I have some questions for those of you who use any assistive devices for your RSD legs...

what do you use, and how has it helped you?
has helped you gain independance?
if you have tried multiple things, what has been the best product?


If you were telling me what I should buy, based on your experience, what would you tell me to try, based on my situation:

I can still walk, not well though. When I walk my legs shake and jerk, from muscle guarding (my Dr. explained to me that she has seen it before, and what happens is your muscles start guarding from nerve's overactivity/ pain) and I cannot walk without hanging on to something for the most part. I am afraid I will fall (as are other people) and I can't do much independantly outside of my home. So I am considering for outside of the home use (i.e. the store, to the neighbor's house) some sort of assistive device (crutches, walker, etc...).

Thanks in advance!
