Hi . I am 43 years old and on my 3rd rollator. I used one since age 38 years old. I wore out tires and brakes on my old rollators/walker. Naturally medicare said they never heard of people's walker wearing out and I told them it is because most don't use them they carry the walker in the grocery carts or it sits in the corner <smile>. I had to fight for three days and someone finally came to my house to look at the walker and the 80% was covered. It would have been cheaper to just approve the walker in the first place. nancy m.
