We don't sell equipment; we show you how to use it safely
My doctor told me not to swing that I’ll get hurt. Now I am questioning everything because walking is hurting me more
Sorry to hear you are hurting more. We would suggest asking you doctor for a Physical Therapy referral to be assessed on the best way to be walking with your crutches. They will consult with the doctor on any limitations/restrictions you have and help you figure out your best walking pattern. Hope this helps. Take care! ✌🏻❤️😊 AECorner.com
Thank you so much, i broke my big toe yesterday and i couldnt figure it out how to walk with them❤
So happy you found our video helping. Speedy recovery 🥰🥰
@@AECorner thank you❤
I just broken my ankle so thanks I’ll keep that in mind if they give me crutches tmr but hopefully not tho
Speedy recovery, LegoGabe! 🥰🥰 AECorner.com
i recently twisted my ankle and now i have a slight fracture in my shinbone, so now im trying out crutches for the first time
@@KMART_ENTHUSIAST Please go slowly and be safe 🥰🥰 AECorner.com
I'm thankful for your instructions. I am suffering and everything is difficult.
I am not able to use the crutches yet. The walker makes me feel secure. Thank you kindly.
Stay safe🥰🥰
Thanks, the ER nurse gave me an instruction sheet for crutches. I lost it before I could read it.
So happy we could help! Christina & Cindy - AECorner.com
Surgery the day after Christmas. I just need to figure out how to get downstairs

I broke my leg few days ago and now today walking with my crutches and my leg upwards is kinda easy. Hopefully I can recover soon
Speedy recovery, Zeiixy! AECorner.com
My physio laughed at me when I used your technique
Hmmm, there are not many ways to walk with crutches when someone is non weight bearing. There is not another technique I would demonstrate in this instance. Since you are not my client and I haven’t seen you, please follow your physio’s instructions.
Take care! ✌🏻❤️😊

Thank you this is how I've been walking my mom told me I'm not supposed to walk like that
Sounds like your mom might know a thing or two about crutch safety 🥰🥰. So glad you found our video helpful! Christina & Cindy - AECorner.com
Hi
Thank you ..
Happy to help! It was a pleasure meeting you last weekend. CIL of North Central Florida and AECorner make a GREAT team!
@AECorner ..yes, wonderful time with you guys. Thank you for your support
Just found your channel and boy do I need you guys….how do I minimize the pain I am feeling in my hands from starting with toe down only on walker…torture! I broke femur 19 days ago. Doc says I’m doing great and am now on crutches with 25percent weight bearing for another week. My pt set up the crutches but wow….I need pain pills for my hands and not my leg. What do folks do??? ❤
Oh boy, that is a common problem with axillary crutches. People try to pad the hand placement handles the best you can.
Check out www.vivehealth.com for crutch accessories like handle pads. Use discount code aec10 for 10% off your purchase.
Or some people wrap pool noodles or washcloths around them.
Hope this helps. Speedy recovery 🥰🥰
When i did this i fell on my back infront of everyone.
At least i got a crowd
@ehsanakbar1701, we are sorry to hear that. Crutches aren’t always easy to use, especially initially and certainly take practice. They must be taken slow and used with caution. If you are having difficulty we recommend to consult with a local PT for further instruction. Be safe!

There is something wrong like deep in my groin area and I’m a minor and I almost buffed it leaving the clinic
It hurts under my arms.
You shouldn’t be bearing any weight through your armpits. You should be bearing weight through your wrists. Does that make sense?
I have a quick question, is it ok if I try to go to school with them like the 4th day I broke my leg
As long as you feel safe and confident walking with crutches AND your doctor is good with it. Speedy recovery 🥰🥰
@@AECorner ok, thank you!
I don't understand why doctors recommend crutches, which are dangerous, to a person who has just broken one leg as if they want the person to break the other leg and be doubly handicapped. If you are non-weight bearing, you should rest and keep the injured leg elevated at times, and try to do light exercise with the good leg in a safe manner, but not put yourself at risk by hopping around with crutches with these unstable crutches. It is just plain dumb and treacherous particularly for older people.
The concept of crutches does seem a bit archaic 🤔
Life is hard🪦💐😮💨😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It has it's days
😅 Ian now in leg fracture domian
Naomi, we are sorry to hear that. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care! ✌🏻❤️😊 AECorner.com
I dont trust those basic crutch bottoms. theyre so narrow n look like they slip too easily.
@dsz6886 we understand your concern. As long as the crutch tips are new/in good shape they typically work well. Things to watch no matter what type of crutch tip you are using is getting them wet or getting a small piece of gravel stuck in them. Either of these could make any type of crutch tip slip. Take care!
