Is it weird to see a kid with a walking cane?!


Question: okay, i have hm... a hip and leg and feet problem..

im 17 at the moment.

i can't really walk and it hurts every time. should I get a walking cane before my surgery? Because I don't know when my surgery will be to be exact, and during this time, I want to get a walking cane to make it more comfortable for my feet especially and hips...

I don't want to be in a wheelchair though.

Hence, BOTH FOOT and LEG and HIPS hurt!! It has a time interval, sometimes on side hurts, sometimes the other.

isn't this beautiful? https://www.beanstream.com/images/CanesC...

Also tomorrow i have an english presentation, and I have to stand up for 20 minutes, but I can't stand that long and my teacher doesn't know about my condition. So should I tell him and ask him if I can sit and present??? D: ...

If someone ain't gonna like you because you have a cane, who needs 'em, right? Damn Right!! Rock on, girlfriend.

P.S. I'm so glad there's surgery in your future! I want to wish you the very best of luck! I love your avatar! :)

P.P.S. I'd sit for the presentation. Knock 'em dead, kiddo!

nah tell the teacher and you should use a cane or crutches if it hurts, who cares what other people say...right?

No it isn't weird to see a kid walking with a cane. Ive had to walk with a cane for a year (I'm 14). If you have bilateral trouble it might be best to use crutches. Yes the cane is beautiful. You should ask your surgeon/doctor if you should use a cane. Canes are good but usually only help one side, It also takes a while to get the feel of using a cane and actually get relief from using it. You need to tell your teacher about your condition--especially if you will be in worse pain for standing for a long period of time. A wheelchair might be best if sitting is good for you. I hope this helped and I hope everything works out for you. Good luck.

My sweety i feel your pain,by the grace of God i will always keep you in prayer. It is never too weird to see a child with a WALKING CANE because it is due to the conditions that the person is going through that leads to the usage of a walking cane. I want you to say this every time you experience the pains:
The health of GOD is in me. I refuse to let my body be subject to sickness,disease and infirmity. Every fibre of my being is inundated by the life of GOD. I'm walking in divine health,in the name of JESUS. Glory to GOD.
You must believe in God and trust him that the pain will go away.

Okay, delayed reply but better late than never (I hope you kicked *** on your presentation and your teacher should have let you sit definitely).

Canes are cool. You can use them as a weapon if anybody tries to mess with you hehe ^^

I had a hip operation when I was 14 and had to be on crutches at school for a year. It's really annoying but it does alleviate the pain a lot. I had 2 slipped upper femoral epiphesis or something like that, where the bones slips out of the hip sockets. I don't know what sort of problem you have but I suggest the sooner the surgery the less likelihood of future complications.

Good luck and hope all goes well! =)
