I started on using elbow crutches after 6 years since I have been diagnosed.

Well, I've had MS since 2003 (and probably had it a couple of years before diagnosis) and don't use a stick although I do wear an orthotic on both feet and have a leg splint. You can't do anything about the course of the condition but you can maximise what you have by keeping very fit and addressing issues as they arise. A small price to pay for keeping mobile.
