Hi

I hope you are talking about just a simple chair such as a dining room one not a metal wheelchair as I would hate to think of you falling on that ouch

Try furniture charity shop or some cheap fold up ones arounds

Sounds horridly painful.....We bought one via Amazon which was Β£89.00 and very comfortable. Seems a lot of money but well worth it....delivery was free as well. Hope you feel better soon...x

Have you contacted Occupational Health or Physio? Mine came through Physio and is on Medical Loan from the NHS.

. Takes a while, because it is measured for you, but costs nothing.

Alternately try Red Cross in your area for one of their Medical Loan ones, there is a cost for this, but it might tide you over while you wait.

Hi Kayshasmith1

I am so truly sorry to read this and I sincerely hope that you have not hurt yourself my friend? Some of the online stores aren't too bad price wise. Lloyds pharmacy and Ebay are quite reasonable but they can take a great deal of searching to find to what you want?

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you
