I'm now over 6 months post-op, and have recently been strongly encouraged by my husband to start using escalators once again. I still hobble quite a bit without a cane, so I still use it when I'm outside of my own house. While I don't really expect to fall or lose my balance using an escalator (no falls yet so far post-op..., though balance has been an issue in the shower a few times), I'm not quite brave enough to start using them once again -- especially within a busy mall with lots of people both ahead of me and behind me.
Have others that still use canes returned to using escalators post-op? If so, did you have any problems when doing so?
-- Thanks,
Mary
