Ive injured my toe and im on crutches...?


ive injured my toe, im on crutches.. i noticed that the crutches hurt my underarms, so i am holding my body up with my arms. I also do weight training, but not that ive injured my foot i cant do it anymore. WOuld the crutches help my upper body like shoulders, arms etc...? if i hold up my body weight with my arms instead of resting on my underarms?

the crutches should not touch your underarm -if they do, they are too high. adjust them down one peg. they are to be used as a reminder not to step onto your foot. follow up with your orthopedist for more info.

man...your arms wre gonna get toned!!!
