Hey how was surgery? The pain, the healing process the discomfort? I fell off a bike on my knee and I went for an x-ray which didn't show any obvious fractures but it was recommended I go for an MRI. It's been more than a week and I still have limited mobility, discomfort and pain

You will likely have to keep that leg straight out in front of you and just use your uninjured leg. It can also help to wear a shoe with a thick sole on your support leg or even add an Even-up (geni.us/EsVA4I) to it so that you're higher on that side and can move the one that can't bend through more easily.

You should do what works best for you. It doesn't make sense to force your right arm to work if that will cause you more trouble. If using the crutch in your left hand provides the support you need, then go for it.

@SportsInjuryPhysio
2 жыл бұрын
I don't think that there is any good solution for carrying it. Some of my patients have either bought an extra crutch so they could leave on at the top and bottom or they have hooked the round bit of the extra crutch around their forearm so it dangles loosely sticking out to the back as they climb up and then they just slide it down ahead of them for coming down.
