Crutches causing pain? |
My crutches are causing me alot of pain to my shoulders, forearms, and sides of my low chest area. My shoulders are the worst. I don't know why. Is there any way to help beside the extra padding and advil. you may need to adjust the crutches where the screws are. Did anyone show you how to use them? I think the crutches are suppose to aid you in walking not support all your weight. Try not to hang on the crutches see if that works.,otherwise call your doctor & ask him to show you how to use them or a friend that has used them before.. perhaps you could trade them in for a wheel chair until you get better. Yeah it does sound like you need to adjust them just unscrew them there are additional holes below where your hand go and you can adjust the height on them. |
