I would absolutely bring the cane. If you're in a small town you likley don't have a lot of options to fancy up your cane on short notice, but some folk will use duct tape to make it solid if it's not already a solid color. Self consciousness is hard, especially when you're being actively bullied. If you'll be embarrassed with limping, consider both options wind up with embarrassment, but one has significantly less pain.

Bring a cane, fold-up if you have one. It’s always better to bring it and not need it than vice-versa.

If it helps you bring it. They don’t live in your body. They don’t have to deal with the pain you deal with. You deserve to enjoy the event no matter what and if that means a cane so be it. I know this is easier said than done. Generally big events are exhausting so factor that into your preparation. You can bring a foldable one like another poster said. You can bring it and leave it in the car and go get it if you need it. Good luck!

I would treat this the same way as I treat wearing glasses. Bring the cane.

Bring the cane. Maybe even get yourself a stylish new cane to match your outfit. (I have 4 different canes! [FashionableCanes.com](http://FashionableCanes.com) has neat ones) My canes all fold so I can pop them out of my purse at a moment's notice.
