Three wheeled walker

[Beechboy]

Following a bicycling accident four years ago I have had a problem with lymph fluid building up in my left leg as the day goes on. A compression garment helps a bit.

 

The leg gets heavier and consequently I have to concentrate when walking as it is easy to forget to lift it enough and therefore to trip over. This is a greater problem walking along the kind of uneven pavements you are presented with particularly in Bkk. Having a few inside me exacerbates the problem.

 

I usually have a walking stick which aids the walking in as much as it slows me down a bit. Concentration is the main thing but just walking can be quite problematic by evening time.

 

My elderly mother has a three wheeled walker to get around with and does quite well considering she is 92.

 

I recently tried out her walker and found it useful for my problem and better than a stick.

 

I now just Winter for four months in Thailand so acquiring one of these walkers for this period would be useful.

 

Where is the best place in Bkk. to get such a thing (I don't want the problem of carting one on a plane) in Bkk? It would better be second hand as I will likely discard it when I leave again.

 

Does anybody have any suggestions? Loads of oldies use such things in the UK. I don't recall seeing one in Thailand, but may be I just haven't noticed them as they are clearly useful anywhere and everywhere and are not usually difficult to buy.

 

Thanks..

This may get better results in the Health forum.

Rather the Bangkok forum where I shall be looking to buy one before I move on.
