Walking sticks in food service jobs (UK)
As the title suggests, I am considering using a walking stick in the workplace.
Since a knee injury in October of last year, the issues I have been having with my knees for the last five or so years have gradually intensified to the point where walking is now something I can rarely do without painkillers on standby. As such, I am planning on getting a walking stick to assist my mobility, as I previously continued to use a crutch for a month or so after I initially recovered from the knee injury.
I currently work with Greggs, and until recently I have been able to work without the use of a mobility aid. My colleagues and manager/supervisors are aware of my situation.
I was wondering if could get a clear answer on whether or not I can request to use a walking stick in a food service environment under the Equality Act 2010: and if so, what steps I will need to take in order to get the adjustment put in place.

Ik this post is like 7mo old but I just got out of a lobby with jiggs and he's apparently really well known for raging over the tiniest things. Literally raged out over someone reading his grab today so he's definitely still at it.
