I have CRPS in my left leg from unexplained causes, it developed spontaneously in 2022. I had a non painful rash on my left leg and two weeks later woke up and couldn’t bear weight on my left leg. I have been using a cane on and off since, it helps me do more throughout the day— walk longer, stand, do activities that would be pretty limiting without it.

I guess my question is does anyone else use a cane daily? When I don’t use it I am more fatigued, in more pain, and unable to walk like > 0.25 mile. Does using a cane long-term cause any adverse side effects years later?

Thanks :) <3
