It will raise issues, you do mention that it is painful all you can do is offset it against what I assume is the risk of your falling over if you don't use the stick.

Hi George,
This is your claim and you must be happy with the information submitted. It is perfectly in order to add to the form if you feel things have been missed out.

I am sure the volunteer was really helpful, but only you know how things affect you best. Read carefully what has been written, if you don't agree with some of what is said , delete it. Likewise add any further information that you think is in your interest. Above all, make sure that what is witten on your finished form reflects your condition and how it addresses the descriptors.

The Descriptors are the legally defined criteria against which a claimant is assessed for PIP, they are listed in the PIP Claim guide at the beginning of each section covering a question on the form.
The actual PIP2 does not include this information.
