In my opinion, age does not matter. If you feel you need them, if that will help you, go for it! I used a cane for a bit when I was 16, as well as a back brace. It helped me a lot! If people are saying things like "You're so young, you don't need that!" They are misinformed. The only thing that matters in recovery is what YOU think will help YOU. Even if a medical professional says something along those lines and you don't agree, they are wrong. A degree in medical school does not mean they know how you feel.

You know your body better than anyone else! Personally I found that using mobility aids made my pain worse because I would t get enough movement, but there are certainly times I wish I had one. Whether you choose to use one or not, please keep pursuing other causes! I just found out my fibro might just be caused by a spine deformity that can be fixed! Keep pushing either way

I started at 16, my son started at 15. You are never too young to get fibromyalgia, it doesn't hurt to grow, it is probably fibromyalgia. Give yourself a break.

What symptoms do you have? What were you thinking of getting? I agree with what everyone said. I feel like there is a time and place for them and sometimes they can get in your way. Just try them out and see how it goes?

If you need mobility aids do it. I own a wheelchair, cane, shower rails, shower chair, knee and back braces. I don't need them all the time. Only when I'm having a super bad flare up and can't walk or even stand. Or dizzy. I have them as emergencies.

I have a shower chair and a switch stick chair/cane combo I named Vixen. Definitely improved my quality of life and anxiety about balance/pain.
