You are using each for a different reason.
You are using the crutch to offer stability when you walk. Make sure that any weight tranference is in relation to that crutch. It can't help you if you don't use it as your 'third leg'
The cane is for 'feeling' and uneven pavement testing. Do not try to use this as a means of supporting your weight. You could possibly hurt your arm or shoulder as well as fall from losing your balance on the weaker leg.
Just like driving a car......each arm is going to be doing something different. Sounds hard, but with practice it will become second nature.
