Hey! My name's Luci. I've been considering the possibility of getting a mobility aid and was wondering if anyone has advice on if I should/which one? Also how would I bring that up to a doctor? I have several mental conditions and several chronic physical ailments, working on a diagnosis now for the physical, but we think it's rheumatoid arthritis because it runs in the family. Anyway I have extreme pain and aching my knees, feet, ankles, elbows, and fingers... The knee problems are the worst and all these problems have been around for years now. Anyway I was thinking of getting a cane or forearm crutches because I can't walk around for long and I'm unsteady because of the pain (I can't do armpit crutches because ive had those in the past and it was painful/cut off circulation). Ive also considered a wheelchair instead for the days it's bad (but not like every day) because my school is MASSIVE and really hard to get around, but I feel like I'm not that disabled and people would think I'm faking it, idk. Also any ideas to help with joint pain or RA would be lovely!
EDIT: I have hEDS! :)
i was going to say you might have hEDS if i didn't read the edit i would say that your doctors is stupid
