I'm coming to the place where there's always someone who knows! Since I've been using a walker quite a lot, and putting all my weight on my hands, they've become numb, and very difficult to use effectively. Is there anyone who has had this problem, who can give advice ?
I'm taking vitamin B6, recommended by DD Margot (a nurse practitioner), and am trying to make thick pads for the handles, but having a problem with anchoring them. I've fallen once and almost fallen a couple of times, so have to make sure they don't slip round with my weight on them.
I'm almost certain the cause is the walker, walking stick and elbow crutches, as I've had carpel tunnel problems before, and operations, and this is completely different.
If anyone knows a remedy, and/or how to anchor the padded cuffs, I'd be grateful. I'm becoming more and more helpless, and angry because of it! I have thought of glue, but where - onto the thin foam cuffs?
