Advice & Tips
Sometimes it makes navigating icy sidewalks more difficult or accidentally tripping others happen more often. However, it helps tremendously to have something to lean on when I need to stand often. I don't fall nearly as much anymore.

Advice & Tips
use of a walking stick helps keep my posture erect. I don't feel like I'm leaning on it as much as when using the cane. Use it if you need. The walking stick looks cooler [I think]
