Posture Cane The Original Campbell Foldable Walking Cane for Men and Women - FSA/HSA Eligible - Editorial Recommended - As Seen on TV

I recently had a spinal fusion surgery after being diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis. My L5 Vertebrae broke away from the spine, dropped and slipped forward, pressing against the nerve. It was an injury that bothered me for years but only became much worse in my 40’s and 50’s. A regular height cane puts too much pressure on my back because of needing to lean forward to get any support on that type of cane. They are just too low. Spondylolisthesis creates a horrific fracture-like feeling with every movement, which left me unable to even scoot forward on the cushion of a couch, forget being able to actually walk around the house. Luckily, while spending 5 weeks awaiting surgery I found this cane, and purchased it based on a wonderful review from another user who also had spinal fusion surgery. This cane has been a life saver. Before the surgery it allowed me to actually move around the house carefully while feeling I was not at risk of falling. I am still using the cane after surgery, which was only a week ago, just because the added support makes me feel safer and more stable. The cane can mostly stand on its own next to you, but that depends more on how flat your flooring truly is. I find the cane is also a great help at raising and lowering a toilet seat, or pulling clothes up, gently moving blankets, etc., all things I cannot do on my own because I am not allowed to twist, turn, or bend for another 10 weeks while the spinal fusion bonds. The upright position of the cane allows me to look straight ahead and not down at the floor, which instantly alieves pain. I have no complaints on this cane. I would just give two tips to potential buyers: the handle area can feel slippery once you wash your hands, so be sure to completely dry your hands after washing. The gold stripe near the bottom of the handle does tend to slightly unscrew through normal use, so just make sure you tighten it everyday to be safe, which you only need to twist it with your hands, No tools are needed. I haven’t had a need yet to fold it so I can’t say how small it folds up for storage. I cannot recommend this product more highly, It has been a huge help and I cannot imagine where I would be if I had only a smaller, traditional style cane. Thank you so much to the manufacturer of this cane. I picture I will continue to use this cane in the future as a walking stick, giving me more stability for walks around the block. It’s well made. I have even used it to help steady myself getting in and out of the shower. This is truly one of the best items I have ever purchased on Amazon. I am so grateful this cane exists.

Sturdy

Excellent product.

I fractured multiple vertebrae and was advised to use a walking stick. I've been using an ordinary walking stick but I was worried it would make me less upright. It's an expensive stick and takes a while to adjust to a slightly different way of using a walking aid, but I am hoping it will be okay. I really like that it's easy to fold a stands on its own

I highly recommend this cane. Its very stable with the feet and tall enough for my needs. Not having to stoop over to hold onto.
