I’m really struggling with hip pain these last few weeks. I’m considering buying a cane but I feel like I’ll look lazy or like I’m faking. Any advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated!!

You’ve got this!! Mobility aids are GREAT and if they can help you then you should def use them! Personally, I started using a cane in HS and it really helped me to get a cute one and decorate it so it felt more like a natural part of my outfit and blended in more with my vibe, if that makes sense?

I use a cane sometimes. It’s embarrassing cuz im 19. But I have a labral tear and hip dysplasia and also just hEDS in general. If for some reason someone asked, you say you have a hip injury and move on
