Pain from crutches? |
i sprained my mcl the other day and was told to use crutches and to be non weight bearing for 48 hrs and then limited WBAT after that the only problem is that the crutches are rubbing me and irratating under my arms but not the armpits i have the proper 2 inch gap from the top of the crutch to my armpit. the rubbing is beside my chest where the crutches rub with movement. any suggestions on what i can do to help with this problem.. wrap them in soft padding or take the padding off if its thick. also try wrapping in smooth tape to cut down on friction wrap hand towels around them, shift your weight to your hands. I spent 2 of my high school years on crutches, it takes practice to get it right. |
