How To Use A Cane With A Bad Knee 

GREAT explanation and great socks too!

That gave me some reassurance! Thank you💐

Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to know.

Thanks you, this definitely helps. I've recently hurt my knee and just bought myself a cane. I also always assumed one uses the cane on the same side; glad you corrected this for me right away :) chEErs

Thank you for this great demo! So helpful!

It was very explicit & informative.

Thank you, I recently tore the cartilage and nerves in my left knee and had no idea how to properly use a cane

Thank you!

Thank you ..this was very helpful.

Thank you for this video.

Thanks, in the process of being diagnosed with EDS and had a bad knee injury in February that hasn’t healed :/

Makes sense. Thanks

Is it possible to use the cane this way if your knee is very deformed. My right knee is very bad. My leg bows out like a V shape. My foot is way out to the side versus my hip. Probably about 20 degrees out from being straight. I use my cane on my right side, same as my bad knee to hold me up. I can barely walk without it literally. I've always used it this way. I basically support my weight on the cane so I don't collapse but it really wears me out having to walk like this. To understand this better, if I stand on my right knee I'm probably at least 2 inches shorter than standing on my left leg that's straight and shows my actual height. The meniscus is gone and it's bone in bone now. Happened from a surgery when I tore my ACL in half and when the doctor fixed that he also shaved off almost all my meniscus due to it being eat up with arthritis. My knee has progressively bent out more and more over the past 10yrs since that surgery. I need a replacement now to fix it. Anyway, do you think it's possible I could use the cane the way you are saying without collapsing? Or is there a better way to use my cane so I don't get so worn out when walking? Sorry for the long explanation. Any advice would be a blessing. Thank you! 😊

Thanks for the tip I recently had a knee strain and was wondering if the same cane technique applied for a knee that might buckle

Thank you

But if you cannot put pressure on your LEFT knee ,HOW does having a cane in your RIGHT hand reduce that pressure?

I understand this but, what if it's your left knee and your left-handed that's the problem I'm having
