Well done u in seeking help for your pain relief and taking steps towards more independence with the walking aid! There's no shame in it! Sending love and light your way ❤

Jodie I have multiple sclerosis. For a long time I wouldn't get a walking stick. My risk of falling didn't matter. My pains got worse and my back was bending. I bit bullet and got one which was fancy . I thought everyone was looking at me . However they all said thank god you using something to stop you falling. They were relieved. I then as time went on got a mobile scooter. Decorated it with daisy stickers and a number plate. We have to adapt or we compensate our walking so we then put pain and stress on other parts of the body . Thanks for sharing your chronic conditions. I go swimming which helps with stress and pain as well as bones and muscles. Loved the haul beautiful lady. Going to pay a visit to Poundland Poundland

Hi Sonia Thank you so much for this message. Honestly, it's comments like these that really inspired me to do what is best for me. You are so right my other body parts take on extra pressure when I'm trying to fight it and not use something that will help me which I now now my body is thanking me for now using my stick. You are a true inspiration, and you should be so proud of yourself xx 😘 ❤️

Looking at it this way some people are forced into a wheelchair because they have no legs or their legs can’t work but yours does so utilise it with the stick.

Oooooh love that crutch! I need one right now..😂 Joking apart, I suffer with my right knee & need a walking aid, I think a lot of the time, if you look young & healthy then people don't realise the physical pain and depression, chronic constant pain causes, especially if you've got a few different issues going on all at once, it can be very overwhelming. I'm 69 but look a lot younger (thanks to my mum's young genes! 😅) and I'm definitely getting a Cool Crutch 😊. Oh and Ive got a H&M first order on its way thanks to your haul the other day (including that lovely red dress 😅). X

Hi Jodie With an invisible illness no one can see or understand why you are in pain. Am loving the crutch and looks sturdy. I love the vase and the flowers. I like the musky ones but cannot find these down here. Anything online do you know of ?. When I was a kid they had little bags of salt in with the crisps to add your own. I cannot recollect the name. Will get that when I go to town lol I will need a new cupboard at this rate All the best. Rhian x

I am so glad your accepting you need aids especially when they look so good. My condition started in my early 30's.Unless you have chronic pain you don't realize how debilitating pain is.I am at the stage where I need a walker and morphine. It was so difficult to accept but it meant I could go shopping on my own for the first time in twenty years.I was so excited to be in Primark on my own I sent a picture to my children.We won't mention I went so overboard my walker fell over.People came running to help and me ,I just gabbered on about how I hadn't been shopping on my own for twenty years.I think I was on a high. When I used crutches one caused my hip to hurt so I had to have two. Try to look at the aids as not only giving you freedom but your children as well. Next time you go on an outing use a scooter and your pain won't go over your limit and you'll do much more with your boys. I know it's difficult but remember the aids give you independence not take it away. I only recently saw and subscribed to your channel as your the same size as me,you show such fab clothes and your personality is brilliant.

Hello Beautiful ❤, Sorry you struggling with pain In your knees. Will be praying for relief. I totally understand pain ya know I have fibromyalgia as well and lymphedema, neuropathy in hands,legs and feet cause I'm diabetic. I've been struggling with lymphedema flare. I take tramadol as well. What's dose do you take that's the highest dose cause I'm on 50mg. I feel I need higher dose. I know exactly how you feel living with pain and being moody etc....im same way. I'm just looking out for you just concerned. The knee surgeries a lot of people i know who has had knee surgeries wish they didn't do it after they did. Some say it didn't help or recovery is really hard and painful. I know you probably researched it on your own. Im just looking out for you. Have you tried Frankensence oil and myrrh oil therapeutic grade those are great for pain i put it on my feet for neuropathy and use it on pain points for fibromyalgia. Loved your haul you got some nice things. Love that place mat couldn't believe the cheap price for that it looked thick and nicely made. Loved your video can't get enough of your smile, personality and accent 😂. Love it all.
