I'm not diagnosed with anything, but I've recently become more aware of how much underlying chronic pain I have and it's been getting worse lately. My hips, knees and feet constantly hurt, especially when I walk/stand for a long period of time. Now I don't NEED a cane. I won't fall over without one, and I can walk just fine, but I think having one would reduce some of my joint pain. Could just be my insecurity but is it wrong to use a cane if I don't really need it, it would just help me a lil?
