Crutches

[Checkers]

For all the people out there who have ever had to use them.

Did you find the find forearm or underarm ones the best? I got the underarm ones at the moment and they are killing me, thinking of hiring the others.

Forearm!

I haven't had them but my friend broke his foot. He tried both of them and said the forearm crutches were a lot better.

my friend has been using underarm crutches since march last year, no joke

maybe hes used to it cause he has always been on and off crutches since he was a little kid, cause hes had ova 15 operations on his leg cause on was longer than the other and now he is turning 18 this year.

Forearm all the way. Underarm ones get very uncomfortable if you've got them longer than a couple of days.

Most definitely the forearm. The underarm crutches are a killer.

the only way to go is no the no padding underarm ones

Forearm definitely... Underarm are far more pain than its worth... Last time I had them it was deadset more comfortable to simple walk around on my injured foot than go through the next day... Went back to the forearm the day after.

Thanks for your help guys

Theunderarm ones suck. I broke my big toe in 2 places and they said i would have to be on crutches for 4-5 weeks and its only been 5 days but they are horrible. I find it easier walking around normally. For now i am just going to walk on the bad foot but if i need them again i will get forearm ones.
