I want crutches.?


I want to sprain or break my ankle or leg so I can be on crutches because have broken or sprained anything in my life and i want to know what it feels like.

I dont care how much it hurts so any ideas on how to sprain orbreak my ankle

Don't bother breaking or spraining anything. Just go rent a pair of crutches at a rental store for a week. Try hobbling around on them for a week and you will take them back to the rental store and be glad you don't really need them. What a great question.

crutches arent fun at all...but if you want to know what it feels like to use crutches just go to a medical store or a pharmacy and buy a pair...you can get them for like $20

omg lmao! i did the SAME THING!! and it hurt so bad..
anyways..what i did is i got my friend to throw a chair at my ankle like 20 times or just get a hammer and yeah u know waht to do

I would skip the break and just buy the crutches, you can get them at most pharmacies or durable medical goods stores.

It sounds like you are looking for attention. Youngest child, lost a boyfriend, mad at mom and dad. Grow up it hurts and could be an issue for the rest of your life.

honestly i wouldnt. but im not here to tell you what to do or whatever. i have broken so many bones. mostly when i was in sports. but also things like falling. i slipped on ice and broke my wrist, i stubbed my toe REALLY hard when i was running the others are from sports and it broke my foot. believe me, casts and crutches arent fun. i guess just trip and fall? idk really i havent talked about it lol please be safe and dont do anything stupid

you really don't want to do either! Sprains are a life long injury, sure it heals but it's never to 100%. you'll forever be prone to re-spraining. Breaks aren't as bad but if you are unlucky enough to get one near or at a joint you are setting yourself up for osteoarthritis and you'll have that for the rest of your life as well. if you are young and i mean a teenager and you break a bone near your growth plates your growth in that limb will be affected or stopped with one leg, arm, finger,toe, etc shorter than the other and that will last the rest of your life. even breaking your toe could have a huge effect, sure you would heal fine but the muscles and ligaments would tighten while you were taped or casted and once you got out you'd probably have trouble running and even walking and you would have to spend more money on physical therapy just get your toe to move again! i suppose if you're lucky and you just get a simple break right in the middle you could get crutches. so let's think this one out...
1. you get crutches and they fit you wrong so now the crutch is up in your arm pit pinching nerves-you get nerve damage and your arm is shot, maybe not much, but still now it's not as good as used to be. same thing could happen if you don't use them correctly.
2. the hand holds are to high and you don't notice, so all that pressure is going thru your wrist-ever heard of carpel tunnel syndrome? it's another nerve problem and it can haunt you forever.
3. say you slip, lose your balance, fall-get another break and this time you're not so lucky and end up with one of the other complications.
4. you can't get a cast wet so think of all the ways you'd have to get around showering. i love to take a nice relaxing shower with my leg hanging out or duct taped with a garbage bag around my cast. better hope it doesn't rain because garbage bag UGG's aren't the big fad this season.
5. did i mention the smell? or the itch? bodies have a way stinking when they sweat and discard old skin cells and that makes for one heck of an itchy environment and big B.O. smell!
ok, you've convinced me i want to break something so i can walk on crutches too. I am sooooo kidding

whyy? crutches absolutly suck. your arms hurt really bad while you are using them! it's never good to want to get hurt, just so you can get attention.

something wrong with a person who wants to inflect pain on them self

Remember that when you wake up after passing out. I broke my ankle buy falling on the ice. i guess if you can find an Ice Ring go for it. Enjoy.

You want crutches? Are you on meds of some kind? GROW UP!!!! Youre lucky that you haven't broken or sprain anything! It HURTS!!! BAD!!! Not to mention that sometimes it causes other problems. Long term problems like stiffness or arthritis in the joints, long term weakness or pain. How old are you anyway?

That just goes to show that you take walking for granted. This is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. You should never deliberately hurt yourself because you haven't been injured. I've been on crutches three times due to a knee injury that happened seven years ago and till this day (after surgery and all) my knee is still swollen and have a hard time moving it, cant walk for extended periods and I need surgery again to clean out scar tissue and water in the knee. I don't want to have surgery again because surgery hurt more than the injury its self. So maybe you should think about that before you go and purposely hurt yourself.
