Don't know if any others have my problem(arthiritis) or not,but if you are using or trying to use your digger to help you get up from your knees,this is what I have done.Works great.
I took a piece of heavy wall pvc,1"x 14",put a cap on one end,put a 1" x 3/4" tee on the other,put a piece of 3/4" x3" in each end of the tee with a cap on each end.I have a slip-on leather hammer(tool)holder with a metal horizontal ring that fits my wide belt.The crutch weighs next to nothing and hangs loosely in the metal ring.When I am on my knees,the end is about 2" off the ground.After putting my digger and pinpointer away,I slip the crutch out and it's the perfect height to help me up where using my digger to help myself up was just too short.Works for me.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
Arthritis pain is another mother that created the necessity.
Does that make arthritis the grandmother? :icon_scratch:

You might have to adjust length to your height.
