omg thank you so much this is really helpful. Ill think about all of this! its really good to know. yeah I'm in my late teens so def hitting that pain stage ^^"
I'm already having to say "no" to things that I'd really love to do because I cant walk. My ankles are completely useless, I'm going to physical therapy but progress is slow and life goes fast. Its really nice to see other people with my condition because I feel really horribly alone all the time. Not to mention being harassed and blatantly bullied for using a cane/braces. Sorry for dumping my sob story on you, and thank you again.
I will say as someone who used to use aids more consistently, found European style crutches to be wayyyy better than canes, especially if you get bad wrist pain. Upgrading your aids is legit a good idea, look into different grip types as well.
okie dokies! I'll look into it. as of right now I AM a minor and my mom rolls her eyes whenever I mention pain/mobility aids whatever because she "hunted down the doctor to give you diagnosis isn't that enough?" so perhaps I'll wait until I've moved out and wont receive shite for that kind of stuff anymore. thank you again!

Oh also compression socks are a lifesaver.
