    5. If you're limping on your right leg, should you use the cane on your right or left side?
    If you're limping on your right leg, should you use the cane on your right or left side?

    My low right back & hip hurt when I walk (as does my upper rt leg).....It seems to hurt more if I use the cane on my right side...does this make any sense?

      Whatever works best for you is the side you should use the cane on.

        If it's Sciatica, a stick is not always helpful, steady exercise is best. But it may be something worse, have you consulted your doctor?
