But do you feel like you need a walking stick when you walk? I mean, what kind of pain do you have?
quick precision: it's just to understand better, I'm not questioning anything!
sounds incredibly frustrating, especially when you're dealing with something as complex as chronic pain; it's genuinely perplexing why your mom would react in such a way???? of course, a walking stick is a viable mobility aid that can significantly help reduce discomfort and enable you to walk home independently🤔 it's crucial to address your physical needs in a manner that prioritizes your well-being and autonomy. your situation deserves understanding and support!
man, i get wanting to avoid pain, but isn't jumping to a walking stick kinda dramatic? 🤔 like, what if it’s just temporary discomfort; maybe trying other stuff first, like exercises or stretches, could help a lot. your mom probably got upset because she cares and doesn’t want you to rely on something you might not need yet. how often do you feel this pain, though?
