Hi @Emma95, how are you doing? Just wanted to say hi! I'm 22 and I have CP, also started using a walking stick near the end of high school. I can certainly relate to the mental barrier of accepting aids which weren't previously needed.
Since then I have also started wearing splints again.
Here is a blog post I have written about using a walking stick as a young adult which you might find helpful.0 -
Hi @Emma95,
No problem and please do continue to keep us updated. We are always here on the community so please remember you're not alone though I absolutely appreciate that at times it can feel this way when you are in pain. I feel pain is also something we all individually experience and it is unique to us. Best wishes. Thank you

Hi @Chloe_Scope,
Thank you for sharing your blog, it is really inspiring and resonates. I also admire people who are able to share their experiences as a disabled person, to support other people with disabilities, thank you

My applies for replying out of order, I’m great thank you, how are you? Thank you so much for reaching out, I’m sorry you have felt this too, it’s so encouraging to read your blog though, thank you so much for sharing. I’ve actually come across your blog before, and admired your work! I’ve been considering splints again, or at least one on my worst leg, but I’ve always found them so tricky and unsteady to walk in! I hope they’re helping?
I know I’ve said this in another reply, but it really is lovely to have find a community to share experiences with, this is something I’ve not been able to have outside of my family.
Looking forward to becoming part of this community.2 -

Hi Chloe, my apologies for my delay in replying, you’re very welcome. Yes that’s understandable, great to hear it’s had that positive change for you. Definitely helps, I’m going to speak to my GP about a refer for these when I can. Thank you for your help ?

Hi @Emma95
Have you had any luck with a referral?0 -
Hi @Richard_Scope,
Thank you for checking in with me. Unfortunately not, I might try and make an appointment with my GP to see if things can be moved on a bit quicker, I doubt it at the moment though!
Hope you're well, thanks Emma1 -
Ahh this must be frustrating @Emma95!
