Omg i I just got a cane today and I literally used it the way you told us to and I don’t feel nearly as much pain in my hip. I am having surgery for multiple things that are wrong in my left hip, but surgery is not for another three weeks. I can’t take the pain now and I have a constant limp without the cane. Thank you soooo much!!

Thanks guys! I needed to know this right now, seriously right now. Thanks for the extra info too. I thought I was definitely headed for surgery when perhaps I’m not. Get the weight off the injured leg, no hills, rest. You guys are awesome! 👍🏼

Thanks so much guys! I'm 31 and have a bad labral tear in my hip and a misshapen femur, surgery in two weeks but have a wedding today and didn't want to use crutches and practicing with the cane I feel so much relief! Again, thanks so much!

I have bursitis in my left hip that's been causing severe pain unfortunately my job is physically demanding and I don't drive so I walk constantly I'm thinking a cane to relieve then pain but I'm weary cuz I'm only 27 and I know as a younger person with a cane I may get unwanted attention or stares . This video has helped my confidence that a cane may be worth the trouble to relieve the pain

I'm glad I bought a cane, but I wasn't sure how to use it. I also bought 2 lengths. I had read that I needed the higher one, but actually it's the lower one I need and it hits my wrist on the spot! Thanks for the tip! I've been checking out your videos tonight because of many pains.

Thank you so much. I just developed right hip bursitis and am using exercises that I saw on one of your videos, anti-inflammatories and someone suggested a cane. I'm hoping it helps because I haven't been able to be on my feet for more than 20 minutes w/out wanting to die.

OMG, you guys are right about House - I used to watch that, and he did always walk with the cane on the bad side, limp, and then pull out a bottle of pain pills and swallow some, like that is okay behavior. It probably would not be so much if the show was still being written today. I recently had my own experience with various pieces of assistive mobility equipment due to an injury, was given a status of partial weight bearing for a while, and quickly developed wrist and neck soreness on my good side. Then I discovered that you can buy all kinds of cushions and that they come in some very funky colors and patterns.

I can’t put too much pressure on my knee, so that makes me nervous not having the support on the side with my sprained knee. I sprained my knee really bad with fractured cartilage and stretched ligaments. My knee cap is very unsteady and slides out of socket easily. I can see this being useful once I can walk on it and relieve the pressure a bit. However, what suggestion do you have until I cant put pressure on it? Crutches scare me because I feel way too unsteady and it’s a work out!

I know this is an older video, but I fractured my tibia. Platuea tibia horizontal fracture 7 weeks ago. I saw the ortho yesterday and they said in 5 weeks I can start putting weight on it if my x-rays continue to show healing. I didn't have an operation. I'm really shocked that I'll use the cane if I use one on the left side since my leg is the right leg that's fractured. I'm still not sure if I'll use crutches or a cane. I have to attend pt soon! I had to transfer my care to my hometown because the original doctor I had was almost a 100 miles away. I was shipped there by ambulance originally the day of the accident because they thought they would have to operate, but no. Thanks guys.. I appreciate what you show us.. Much appreciated..

I realize it's a bit off topic but I was wondering if you have any thoughts on canes/forearm crutches/regular crutches to assist walking endurance for scoliosis-related back pain. I have scoliosis and walking is my favourite activity, but I'm finding I'm doing it sooo much less these days because my back gets tired and painful... Sometimes mid-back sometimes at the very bottom of the back. It's been a few years since my doctor and I last discussed it, but at that time she said I had developed some arthritis in the spine due to the scoliosis. I recently was using a cane for a bout of hip bursitis. I found that I liked having it with me even just to lean on when I would stop for a while. That got me thinking whether using 1 or 2 canes, crutches, or even a walker might be useful in helping to alleviate some of the pressure on the back. (I work in healthcare and I've seen too many people use walkers improperly, so I'm a little worried about falling into bad habits - which I think is easily done with a walker - and aggravating the situation). I would appreciate knowing if you think any of these might help, and if so which might be the best option? Thank you! 😊

@headbanger1853 2 жыл бұрын

I use forearm crutches for days when my fibromyalgia makes my knees flare up. I also have scoliosis and the crutches also drastically reduce the hip pain. Tip: make sure the cuff of the crutch is 3 inches below your elbow and the handle meets the crease of your wrist like a cane so you only have a slight bend in the elbow. What I don't like about crutches is that it's very difficult to carry things. I also own different canes, a rollator and a 2 button folding walker. I recommend a rollator which has 4 wheels and a seat if you get tired easily. Using mobility aids is a learning curve, so a physical therapist is useful.

This video is so frustrating im 26 and been on crutches for nearly 6 years i always use the crutch on the side where my hip pain is it eases the pain so MUCH better than using it on my good side which doesn't change anything the pain is unbearable. Ive been told so many times it use it how you are saying but it doesn't ease the pain its just pointless for me as hip pain is still at a 7/8

So ,if you cannot put hardly ANY pressure on your left leg you use the cane on your riRIGHT side . Makes absolutely NIL sense to me . I don't care if you are therapists. Your left knee is in agony with arthritis so you put pressure on itFor a fraction of a second you are putting load on the left knee . Sorry but i do not get it.
