Summary
Canyon 88575, a qualified physio, wrote in r/cfs in May 2021 about having CFS alongside hypermobile joints (HSD/hEDS). They had tried several walking aids and a manual wheelchair, but found stabilising their shoulders and elbows so tiring that the aids were not worth using. They said one size does not fit all with mobility aids.

I still hate all walking aids I've tried ... the effort of stabilising my shoulders/elbows just makes the whole thing not worth it

Same problem with a manual wheelchair.
