Charming Canes Adjustable Folding Walking Cane with Comfortable Grip, Wrist Strap, and Carrying Case - Travel Friendly! (Baby Blue Candy Cane)

Up until a month ago, I didn't plan on ever needing a product like this. As a healthy, active individual, I was surprised when I woke up one day and could not walk due to extreme pain in my hip. After a week of reporting to our local emergency room and being sent home with instructions to take Advil, a new ER doctor finally figured out that I had a septic arthritic hip and had me transported by ambulance to a large city hospital an hour away. At first doctors told my husband that because of the delay in treatment, my body had become septic, and I may not pull through. Another possibility was that my leg may have to be amputated at the hip. Thankfully, those events did not occur. After spending ten days in ICU and step down units, I was able to move back in with my retired parents for 24 hour care and supervision. For a month, I used a wheelchair and walker. Then, with physical therapy, it was time to advance to using a cane. Doctors have told me that because of the amount of damage done to the hip, I may require the use of a cane indefinitely. I have always equated the use of a cane to being elderly, and I am very sensitive about aging. After stewing and feeling sorry for myself, I decided to make the best of the situation. I ordered this fun, yet functional, cane on Amazon as if it was a fashion accessory. This cane is very sturdy and is easily adjustable. The handgrip is soft but not spongy. It is quite comfortable, which is important to me, since I use it at all times. The tip of the cane seems to grip even slippery surfaces well. The cane folds and unfolds easily, which will be an important feature when I am able to drive. The first time I appeared in public with my cane, I received many enthusiastic compliments. My adult children say this cane "screams my name." This fun cane lets me still be me, and it's one small piece in not letting myself be defined by this unexpected disability. I am still the same fun-loving person that I have always been!

I have back issues and I some times have trouble walking. The pain will shoot down my right leg and cause cause my leg to try and give out under me. I was in desperate need of something to help me walk.I am still young and I didn't want something "old" looking. This is nice and cute and works great.I like the handle. It is comfortable to use. The fold up option is convenient and great for carrying it when I am doing a bit better. It also works for taking it when I travel. I am quite happy with this!

Just received my new cane. I love it. It is even prettier than In the photo where it looked like a white background. It is actually my favorite shade of green so it matches or coordinates with all my clothes. The grip is very comfortable and folding with a case and plastic piece to keep it folded make it convenient.If you need to use a cane be sure it is pretty and people will comment on your great cane not why are you using one.

Love this cane. It's very easy to walk with and folds up nicely. Only drawback is the holder to keep it folded doesn't have any way to stay attached.

Padded handle is so much more comfortable than plain wood. I now have three of these canes and all the colors are beautiful. I receive compliments when I go out with this lovely green cane.

this cane is great! im 20 with fibromyalgia (writing from my moms account) so i wanted to find something more fun than the plain black folding cane i had before. the joints where it folds are very secure and dont feel loose or wobbly, and the handle is VERY comfortable, both because of the shape and the material; its solid but with a rubbery/silicone kind of outside so it has a little give and doesnt give me bruises or blisters like the completely hard (i think wooden) handle of my first cane.

Same thing at Walgreens for 30-40$. Love mine because it's pretty.

Very comfortable handle -- sort of gel-like but not spongy, nice contourAdjusts and folds up easily; locking device and pouch convenient for storageWill be great for traveling.
