I keep a cane in my car, another by the front door ( both home made from hickory). You never know when it might be needed either to defend myself or to support my bad hip. It's the one weapon I can take anywhere without question.
When I was younger I studied Aikido for several years. One of the weapons we trained with was a Jo (a short staff around 3.5-4.0 feet long). My teacher told me a lot of the techniques for the Jo came from the Japanese Army bayonet training.If you had Bayonet training ,you can use those same moves with a cane or Walking stick!.

Can't hurt. Might help.
Do talk to your specialist and do get a PT adjust it for you and show you how to use it properly to help with your mobility.
