Hi. I just finished watching your video. I am in severe pain on the outer thigh of my right leg. I had an mri of my spine and hip 6 months ago showing BULGING DISKS WITH FOCAL PROTRUSIONS AND STENOSIS. Since then I had 6 weeks of PT and while it helped a little it didn’t end the pain even continuing the exercises. But in the last month the pain has increased substantially so that I can no longer put weight on my leg. I had been using my mom’s old rollater but then bought a four pronged cane which is easier to take in the car. But nothing seems to help. The pain is intense as soon as I put pressure on it. Will using a cane or rollator eventually help lessen the pain? Or what should I do? Thanks for any advice.

@Physical Therapy 101 - None of the YT vids I've watched on this topic so far will explain the reason for using the cane on the opposite side from the bad leg. Why is that? You don't know how to take the info you learned from your training about it & break it down to a simple way of explaining to someone w/o your training? I have a knee that buckles on me due to being bone-on-bone from osteoarthritis. If it buckles on me when the cane is moving with it, that means my good leg is behind me and can't help should the bad leg buckle. If the leg goes on me, then I will fall toward the direction where the leg buckled, right? The cane won't help to keep me up.
