Crutches.... (gross images enclosed)

Post by bettersafethansorry »

Ok so ive only gone and broke my leg in 6 places!!! and had metal work put in place and im on crutches for 10 weeks, Im wondering about crutches as a prep and im torn to whether keep hold of these NHS ones or just source some to buy :/

For the curios people this is the bit i managed to photo as the doc was checking my wound... 36 of these metal clip bad boys...

Did it plating footy. just joined in with my team 5 mins to end of game and this happens lol. first NHS crutches were pants and hurt hands but ive had them changes for flexi molded handles and its 100x better now.

No weight on it for a while physio already booked in for after that.

I already read your name as better safe than Surrey..,... The last time I played football I broken my wrist, arm and dislocated it as well, Dr said it was just a strain, I put pressure on it a couple of weeks later and passed out as my arm began folding.
