Syag, carrying on Shabbos has some arcane halochos that are not so simple. My Rav in Midwood had paskened it was assured to use the Flatbush eruv, but paskened that it was permissible to use a cane, if the user needed it 24/7. He held that it was the same as not considering carrying to wear a hat. He did make one HUGE qualification. To enter the shul from the street one had to climb 10 stairs , with a handrail from the bottom to the top. He said it would be considered carrying, and thereby assur to carry the cane, if a person used the handrail, not the cane, to climb the last 10 steps
