If lower limb(s) problem is brought on by cancer, oncologist should be ok with writing you a scrip for a wheelchair and I see no reason why this wouldn't be honored. Hopefully, the T-DM1 will help alleviate your discomfort.

If leg problems aren't associated with that disease, maybe a visit to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, which is ranked #7 Nationally in Orthopedics and not that far from South Jersey could bring you some much needed relief.

Anyhow, $125 doesn't sound like such large investment when it enables you to spend more time out in the open and on occasions when leg isn't particularly painful, you can reverse roles with husband and give him a ride, thereby getting in some good exercise.
