After 2 TKRs and 1 Hip replacement, I found the most encountered steps are single ones (curbs, thresholds). For weightbearing, I always remembered my PT's advice: "Down with the bad, up with the good."

I fractured my ankle a few weeks before my 42nd birthday. My husband and my dad moved a bed downstairs to our living room for me for a couple of months, but we only had a powder room downstairs, so I still had to get upstairs to get to our shower. I could get up and down the stairs easily enough using the butt scoot method, but it took me a bit before I figured out how to get back onto my feet at the top of the stairs. The railing at the top of the stairs wasn’t all that robust, so I didn’t want to try pulling myself back to my feet with it… I finally figured out how to use about the same method that toddlers employ, using my hands and knees, getting the foot of my the good leg under me, and then still using my hands to help balance as I pushed up to a standing position.

@@fazeelalaher6250 Yes, that was sort of what I discovered on my own (my broken ankle happened in 2003). After the surgery, I wore a boot and compression bandages, rather than using a cast, and I had to be very careful to not put any weight on it for the first 6 weeks or so. This video is almost exactly the method I came up with just by thinking about how toddlers learn how to get up onto their feet: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbqeYLqar7nGd6c.html

They gave me no instructions on how to get upstairs, this method helped save me from being stranded outside after I got to the top of the stairs using the scoot up on my butt method.

Flashbacks to college when I fractured my fibula and was non weight bearing for about 10 weeks. Stairs were my nemesis! It didn't help that the student health center didn't give me more than 5 seconds of instruction to use crutches and none of that stairs. Glad to know the right way to use them should I end up on crutches again.

I just broke my ankle a few days ago so here I am back on your channel. I have a splint from the ER and non weight bearing. They showed me how to use the crutches but insisted that I DO NOT use the stairs with the crutches. I live in NYC so getting around is usually by train which means stairs... But they told me I'm to be on bed rest until I see the surgeon. I have so many questions to ask the doctor. Like how I'm supposed to properly use the bathroom. My toilet is so low and I can't extend my leg in such a cramped area... I feel like I'm going to need a bedside commode or a toilet seat riser.... And considering a knee scooter. Idk. I just need to be able to get around my house and neighborhood getting my small kids to school etc.... Im going to search for more videos. Thanks B & B

Sure wish that the PT department that taught me how to use crutches had taught me about the sit position or using the handrail. Going up stairs was scary but looking at all of those stairs that I could fall down if I made a mistake terrified me. Fortunately, I never fell going down. Only going up and basically just caught myself on the stair above me. 13 months in casts and on crutches with this to deal with every day.

You forgot the tushie technique, invented by Yours Truly as a teenager. Sit down on the first step on your tushie. Use your good leg and your hands to help you slide up/down the steps. Drag your crutches with you as you progress up/down the stairs.

I had a tibial tuberosity transfer, and a lateral release... None weight baring and keeping it straight was hard... Stairs always freaked me out, because the year before I had a crappy arthroscope surgery and I fell upstairs twice... I did my best to avoid stairs when I had my major surgery, always made sure I had support into the house (we have no rail). the only time I slipped was 4 days after surgery and put weight on my operated leg... the pain was horrific... Was sent to the GP for more Endone by the surgeon...

I broke my hip and legs. Started to use the crutches to go up the stairs but I only use one to go up and 2 to go down. When I use 1 to go up the stairs i place the other crutch in front of me, leaning against the rail and use the handrail to go up. Then repeat the process until I get to the top.

If you only have an ankle or foot injury, you could crawl up with both knees...or your good foot and bad foot's knee. Going up backwards on your bum, you can put your bad leg over your good knee-like crossing legs-and then you won't have to worry about reinjuring the leg.

My foot is in a boot which is really heavy and throws my balance off. When try to I hop up I feel like I'm going to topple, especially with the crutches behind me. I am also concerned about banging my broken ankle in the boot on the steps if I try sitting and going up backwards. Also have no idea how I would get up again without putting weight on my foot. Any suggestions?

For about a year, laying on the floor, I elevated my legs on a wall at about a 70° angle for twenty minutes most everyday and it helped flush some of the fluid out the legs. It would help to lose weight. Ideally, 90° angle would be best if you could scoot your rear end up against where the wall and floor meets and straighten out the legs along the wall straight up.
