Has anyone got a pair of crutches I could use please or know anywhere that I could get a pair from? Torn my ligament in my right knee and can't walk! Not a good look!

Cheers in advance

Don't hospital's supply those kind of things and treat injuries like yours?

[harestone 10]

Like any treatment crutches come on prescription and should not be used unless prescribed, you could cause yourself more harm, but don't take my word for it, ask a doctor.

[biglee85 10]

Haven't been,last year I strained the same ligament,went to a&e for 2 hours was given some nurofen and told to go to my docs in 2 weeks after the swelling goes down. No point in wasting their time & mine when they'll only tell me the same now. This time though I can't walk at all so could do with some crutches,I'm 6foot 5 though so need some tall ones!

Cheers

Ps it's northern

What about an Ambulance, thats what they are for for people who cannot walk.

[biglee85 10]

Not going to waste an ambulance just for my knee mate, They'll only tell me to go back once the swelling has gone down anyway. Just need some crutches for a days that's all

Handy Andys at Chapeltown sells sweeping brushes that can be easily cut to size

Like ya thinking Bruno,they'll be no weight on my knee I suppose but there's a good chance I'll get sectioned walking about with 2 brooms under my arms
