Are the symptoms weird?

Why do you need to discuss something that is your choice with someone else like it's anyone's choice but yours. I've had people come up to me wanting a wheelchair for back pain relief, leg pain.. Why suffer to make others feel better about you, be more comfortable with you ? Are they going to share your physical pain, no

Oh, I agree with you. I planned to talk to my physiatrist (a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist) because she works at a rehabilitation hospital. They have a specific Wheelchair and Seating clinic, so if she could write me an order to be seen there, they have PTs and technicians (it’s a large rehab hospital) who will meet with you to figure out what works best and potentially we could get the wheelchair rental covered by insurance. If I do it, there’s a chance we could get one more adapted to my condition for much less or covered by insurance than if I just bought or rented it on my own. (I would never have known that except my father had a stroke, and we thought we were stuck with the chair they discharged him with, and turned out that was not the case after his doctor sent him to the Wheelchair and Seating Clinic.)
