Crutches or no crutches? |
Well, a while ago i hurt my knee in gym class. Not it really hurts! I went to the doctor. He said it was maybe torn/strained. I went to a orthapidic and he said I just have 2 rest it. Now it has been 2 weeks later and I still can't walk on it. We are going back to get an MRI but the office is closed over the weekend. Should I use crutches becaause it really just makes it worse if I walk on it. What other things would you suggest besides crutches? I have rested, ice, wrapped, elevate, creamed, and my mom makes me take these pills. And nothing has worked. Should I use crutches 4 the weekend. I am doing some stuff out of my house. Were can i get crutches if u think so? We had a pair but my mom threw them out without realizing well actually need them again. I have 2 my lesson, the library, and my friends thiis weekend. I think I have a birthday party. The good thing is I get to miss shool on monday. Any good websites? I hate my mom 4 throwing them away! Sounds like your orthopedic doctor is an idiot. Wait for that MRI and stay off of it! If you must walk, use crutches as you're probably making it worse. ya you should get crutches. They are made to help allieviate the weight that you are putting on your foot when you need to get around to places. There might be some at your local pharmacy or drug store.. They should have some at like CVS.. or like rite aide.. I'd sit tight this weekend. What is so urgent that you just can't rest for a couple more days. Rest until you find a definate answer. Us Crutches if needed. I would say no, just use a wheel chair or a normal chair for getting around the house. Just try not to pressure it! I cant find any websites that will help but hope I helped. Also put a heating pad on your leg AFTER you put ice on it! Thanks Yes, you should definately use crutches until you can get back to the doctor! Hope u figure out the problem, goodluck Crutches are safe ....but i hate them,after using for looong time :(....you could get a pair at hospital or medical centers...somewhere also at a chemist's....maybe.. |
