Sounds like you do need one to help with balance, but it needn’t be a fuddy duddy wooden one.Look online at hiking sticks there’s a good variety in funky colours.

I'm 86. I find I'm losing my balance when walking and sometimes stagger a bit, as though I'm drunk, although I don't actually fall.
My husband suggests I try using a walking stick, but the lady who runs the Chair-Based exercise class I attend says NOT, as I'll become dependant on it and lose muscle tone.
Has anyone found them helpful?
