My foot has been hurting for the last five days and is making it agonizing to try and do my PT.
Nothing looks wrong, it’s not a joint (I think?)
It doesn’t hurt all the time but if I bend my foot up towards my ankle it hurts or point it.
This is weird
i used to love jokes about canes/crutches users referring to them as their additional legs. but THIS IS NO JOKE ANYMORE.
i almost feel every step of my cane. my wrist? i feel it's more of like my knee. what do you mean i have two legs? no, i have three. yes, third one starts at my shoulder, why?
oh, i need two free hands for something... *sarcastic thought* yeah let me just pull out my second arm. *realizing i actually do have a second arm* oh well...
sometimes i just don't realize i'm holding a cane. i don't realize i can stop holding it. my fingers are glued to the handle, thanks for asking.
today, i was sitting down and thought that i needed to re-tie my shoe laces. i made knots tighter on first shoe. second shoe. then i got puzzled because where's the third shoe.
yes it IS my third leg now. she's adopted.
its really hard to get the hang of at first, trust me. ive had mine for about ~5 months and sometimes i avoid taking them with me bc it feels awkward and i hate not having full use of my hands :/
i did watch some tiktoks from people who use forearm crutches and it helped a little with how i hold them and distribute weight? all i can really say is that it takes time and practice
bought forearm crutches. i have no idea how people use them it's so difficult??? they should provide more support than a cane but i can't take a step without overthinking my every move-
*wakes up*
*stands up and knees and ankles hurt*
*sit down and hips hurt*
