Initially, no you best not pick yourself
The TSA tries very hard to accommodate persons with both visible and invisible handicaps and medical conditions. You may want to give yourself a little while longer to get through security than you would have otherwise.
Please see this page for loads of information for traveling:

Specifically, the TSA site says that these are all permitted:

You most certainly can travel with your ‘walker’., As a matter of fact, you will be offered to go aboard BEFORE anyone else. The airplace crew will keep the walker until you land.
If you need the walker for a ‘potty trip’ ask the flight attendant for the walker so you can use it to move around.
If anyone does not help you in every way, report this person upon landing.
