Coz there's nothing wrong with my legs, Its my balance & co-ordination. Stick also helps me walk in a straight line & not bash others.
I use a stick when travelling & in crowded places but this is mostly as a sign that I'd appreciate being offered seats & not bumped into.

Also, I often accidentally bash people with my stick but they're much more likely to forgive this than if I sway into them sideways.
