I am curious if those of you who have a handicapped parking placard asked your dr for it or if the dr suggested it.
I have an AFO and use a cane; my family and friends keep telling me to ask my dr for the placard (actually to certify my disability on the form).
I still don't see myself as disabled and with the assistance of the AFO and the cane can walk at least a couple of blocks before my left leg just doesn't want to move.
Neither my neuro, an MS specialist, nor the rehab dr nor my physical therapist has suggested it so I keep saying I don't need it.
On the other hand, I know that even when going to a store if I don't get a spot fairly close I am exhausted by the time I walk the parking lot and sometimes my leg begins to crumble and drag.
Thanks.
