Advice & Tips
Start with tennis balls before you wear down the legs on the back.... it will cost you more to replace the whole walker than to buy 2.00 tennis balls and run from dogs. You can get them pre-cut or cut them yourself. Don't be shy, use the walker! It will do it's job and save you a head injury, so don't be ashamed... I still use mine on bad days.

Advice & Tips
I love my walker! I can get around so much easier, and it has a seat so when I get tired or my muscles bind up, I have a place to rest and then continue on. I feel stable with it, even when I get dizzy spells. I'm a lot more independent, can even go to the store with my hubby, whereas before the walker I couldn't.

Advice & Tips
My disease got too bad and had to start using a power wheelchair full time! Too many falls! I did use the rollator walker for a long time and it kept me mobile. When my legs would not hold me up and I kept falling, I talked to my doctor and she said to go into the power wheelchair, so I did! Now this chair keeps me mobile!
