Amy emailed--Hello, I have a question about something that I need some advice about... I am a below knee amputee left leg. And I have been since March of 2012. And I am still using the walking cane because I have a minor limp in my walk... And when I use the cane it helps my walking to be correctly. But I am ready to do away with that walking cane. I am tired of using it and I hate going out in public with it... I think if I could do away with the cane it would really help my self esteem about my self. I dont like using it cause I am only 25 years old. And I know some people say well if you need it you use it as long as you need to and stuff and I understand that but its been almost two years and I am just ready to walk normal again! so my question is does anyone recommend any type of exercises or anything that can help me get off this cane faster? I started my squats last night trying to build up leg muscle cause my orthopedic doctor did say my leg muscles is very weak..and thats part to do with why I limp. But if any one has any faster ways to get off the cane Id really appreciate it. Thanks.
