I had to have a fasciotomy due to compartmental swelling to save my leg. So I don't know how many sutures you have.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H11D796 (not until a week after suture removal.) Otherwise I kept pressure with a long long ace bandage securely wrapped.

Best of luck man, it's a long road but we will get there.

How'd it happen?


edit: also it may be bs but I bought supplements for bone regeneration and take these everyday https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HFUIAM

u/Too_witty · 45 pointsr/HumansBeingBros

Just buy some slightly baggy clothing and rub some charcoal and dirt here and there grab a un clean bit of cardboard and a marker. Don't wear nice shoes and pick a busy corner or off ramp. If you want to kill it wear cheap sun glass and have a cane or have the word VET on the sign.

u/2skool4cool_ · 29 pointsr/raisedbynarcissists

They have some probably not as good quality cane (but better than nothing at this point) for 13 on amazon if you can somehow get on there. Since she keeps breaking your canes I wouldn't get anything expensive if you can tolerate a cheaper cane. If you have a student email, you can get prime for free for 6 months and get it shipped to an amazon locker (usually at a local gas station) in 1-2 days for free. I'm so sorry for what you are going through, that is awful. I also found this site for a free white cane that might be worth a try that allows you to request one every six months.

u/egret522 · 17 pointsr/AskNYC

I've got a folding cane that I use for balance issues, but I've brought it out a few times when I just needed a seat because of chronic pain, too. It feels douchey but is way less obnoxious (for both me and everyone around me) than having to give a whole spiel about needing a seat.

u/verascity · 9 pointsr/disability

LOL, it actually is great for times like that. It's probably a little cumbersome for daily use and there's a bit of a learning curve for maneuvering without kicking it over (which I still do TBH) but it's so much better than trying to get through an event without an assist.

This is the one I use and it serves me pretty well!

u/sxzxnnx · 9 pointsr/Austin

The Bullock Museum has some interesting exhibits right now. For the exhibits I have seen, they have seating throughout the exhibit so that you can walk a bit then sit and rest. Also most museums are wheelchair accessible and have loaner wheelchairs. Your mom may not be at the point where she can mentally admit she needs a wheelchair.

There are several walking canes with an incorporated seat available on Amazon. I think this one is the least "old-lady" looking. The security of knowing she would have a seat readily available when she needed it might allow her to try to some things that she is not entirely sure about.

Austin has several ADA compliant nature/hiking trails. If they enjoy nature, Google ADA compliant trails + the name of the city and you will turn up options all along their route.

Check the calendar at Central Market. They usually have live music on the patio on the weekends. The music is free. Food and drinks from the cafe are reasonable.

u/yeti_beard · 8 pointsr/Showerthoughts

Let me tell you about the pegleg crutch. It was $150 on Amazon and after my achilles tendon surgery, it was AMAZING! I love this thing with all my heart. I swear this is not an ad, I just really, really loved this crutch.

u/ieatmakeup · 6 pointsr/EDC

If you're out for a while, this is what you need.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00092RB06/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6-SByb5BRZ46E

I severed my Achilles in October and used crutches for a few weeks. This is miles better than anything else. Complete use of your hands is amazing. I've fitted mine with some more padding on the knee but everything else works great. I'm in a boot now, but I still keep this around as its handy for around the house.

u/FARTS-ARE-YUMMY · 5 pointsr/Fibromyalgia

Using a throwaway for this. I work in the festival industry and have fibromyalgia along with other non-visible chronic illnesses.

Festivals are challenging for us for a number of reasons:

  • not many places to rest, being on your feet for long days
  • long lines for bathroom facilities that are usually also gross
  • schedule is usually packed, sense of FOMO if you arrive late/leave early. Hard to find friends that are on the same wavelength.
  • food that leads to tummy trouble and other naughty drinks/substances!

    Despite that, I still attend several a year and obviously work many too. Here are my tips:

  • bring a flipstick or portable seat. Huge crowds aren't very sympathetic to those who need personal space unless there is a visible marker of disability.
  • try to walk around the site before it gets crowded. I know this is more physical activity which might make you tired... but it can also reveal shortcuts, quiet spaces, less used washrooms, and other places you will gratefully use over the next few days.
  • If there's an accessibility tent, introduce yourself and ask for tips. You don't have to disclose your actual disability but you can ask questions like, "In your opinion, where should I go if I need to sit in a quiet place? Is there a seating area near each stage? What should I do if I'm having a medical issue?"
  • ask a festival staffer, security guard, volunteer, medic, or anyone with a radio for help if you need it. Don't be shy. It is their job to ensure public safety and even if the first person can't help directly, they are responsible for finding you someone who can.
  • don't get trapped in the crowd, accept that being on the outskirts will help you leave if needed and also have fewer instances for people to thoughtlessly shove or step on you. The pit is a high-contact zone and not safe for us. I see older people, families with children, etc make this mistake all the time and it is frustrating for all involved.
  • rent a locker. Cannot stress this enough. You can have comforts like toilet paper, sunscreen, raincoat, phone charger etc. nearby without having to trek all the way back to the campsite. Keep your bag light with just the essentials - earplugs, bandaids, phone, cash, etc.
  • bring AND WEAR earplugs. This has made a huge difference for me. It not only eliminates headaches from the PA system but reduces the level of insanity when people are bouncing around and screaming.
  • don't drink alcohol, it will also hit you like a ton of bricks after a day of being active and likely low water consumption. This also goes for drugs that you have not been prescribed.
  • pay close attention to security rules regarding prescription drugs, liquids, etc, and follow them to the rule. I almost had my painkillers confiscated once which would have made for an awful day. Bring copies of prescriptions, be honest, etc.
  • if you're going with a group, you kind of have to also be comfortable with being independent. Groups are fickle and there will be a lot of changing plans, hurt feelings, drama, etc. If you're wiped out, just say you need a break and plan to meet up with them later. Don't get stressed or freak out at not being able to please everyone. Obviously if you have a friend who can travel with you it's safer and better, keep in mind that doesn't always happen especially if people are intoxicated.
  • keep your phone charged in case you have to break with the group or need assistance. Don't waste phone battery on social media.
  • Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize. I've regretted showing up too early in the day because I was exhausted by the time the headlining act came onstage. Check out the lineup before you get to the festival and pick your must-sees. Plan to leave a little bit early before the huge rush. Factor in travel time between stages! If you miss part of a set or a couple of acts, so what, you're doing the best you can. There is literally no act in the world that is worth trashing your health for.
  • festival food is soooo tempting but it can end you. Keep meals light and snacks healthy - try to eat as normally as you would at home with more protein and fats to make up for being active all day.
  • recovery days! Plan to be a zombie for a day or two afterward, if you can take time off work do it, if not, take it easy in other ways.

    I hope this helps! Ultimately, I want you to feel like you are in control, not your disease. It's tougher for us than others but it can be possible to enjoy festival life despite fibro. Take care!

This is awesome for when you need real crutches. However, for a sprained ankle, check this out: https://www.amazon.com/iWALK2-0-Hands-Free-Knee-Crutch/dp/B00092RB06

I saw a guy wearing one of these walking down the street, just booking it. it keeps both your hands free.

They're amazing if they work for you (so not for knee stuff, just for foot stuff).

u/mynamesames · 4 pointsr/xxketo

Yo! It's been a ride this past week. I posted a while ago that I had a stress fracture in my foot from running. Well I went back to the doctor cause it still hurt and I was not ready for them to say "Well, if it hasn't healed yet you really shouldn't be on it. You need to be on crutches for two weeks. Then in a boot for two more". So. I live alone in an old house with stairs so crutches or a scooter are not great options. In the end, I got this thing that's basically a modern pegleg called the iWalk 2.0- I'd never seen anything like it before. It's hands free and can do stairs, so I can do most things, but obviously not as much as I want!

I manage to do maybe 4000 steps a day on the iWalk and can't really do much else for exercise without putting weight on my foot, so while I want to feel bad for myself and eat everything - I need to be super careful about what I eat cause I have no buffer! If you have super easy, low cal meals that require almost no dishes and no prep hit me up!

One more week on me pegleg, Mateys! Have a great one!

u/spbink · 4 pointsr/comiccon

I have a bad hip, so this is always an issue for me too. Sometimes the cost-benefit of having a seat with you vs the weight of carrying it along with a cane is annoying. I used to have one of those little camping chairs and it was pretty terrible.

Now I have this cane-stool which I got for last year and it was great. You can actually see how I decorated it in the photos section. The one catch is it isn't height adjustable, so you'd need to find one the right height for your husband. I'm 5'4" and this one was perfect for me.

One other reason I'd recommend the cane-stool is that it has you sit closer to a normal chair height. I can't sit on the ground, and I found the campfire sling seat kept me so low it barely helped.

u/Ashoka_Bahuksana · 3 pointsr/ChronicPain

You can get an adjustable cane like this, I would also suggest getting one of these with it.
You could look into your local YMCA for a pool or gym.
If he has insurance he may be able to get doctor ordered physical therapy.
My father (who also has back issues) used to put a sheet of plywood in between his mattress and box springs to give him more support. ymmv.

get a duffel bag that you can use as a backpack.

Get one of those kneeling hands free crutch things for walking and going up and down the stairs. They are so neat I almost want to break an ankle!

#1, get the ADA seating; you'll surely have a good view and no one bumping you. #2, I saw a guy at the Gorge this summer with one of these, and he said it made the whole Gorge experience possible; using a scooter was impossible out there. https://www.amazon.com/iWALK2-0-Hands-Free-Knee-Crutch/dp/B00092RB06

I keep meaning to get the black & silver one. (I'm 32, but like you, I have nerve damage and if I was going to have to use it for the ongoing future, I was going to be blinged.) They have all kinds of options.

Fashionable Canes that someone else linked is a good place too, but I felt as if the cane I got for the same price wasn't as sturdy, if that makes sense. I got another metal one, but their wood ones looked sturdy.

u/Ratscallion · 3 pointsr/90daysgoal

BQ Favorite vacation was in 2010 when I took the kiddo to the Riviera Maya area of Mexico and we had a blast together. Or, maybe when I backpacked in the Rocky Mountains in my 20's.

Yesterday I was really good - kept my foot elevated, took short breaks from the lying on the couch to do stuff. I have one of these that I'm borrowing from a friend. It's made life way easier. I can cook food and do dishes and I'm not completely dependent on someone else for everything! (I still can't drive. Stupid stick shift car.) Oh, and I had a lovely little dinner/fun take my mind of things evening with B before he had to play softball.

Today

  • Work from home. I've already discovered that sitting at the desk must include propping my leg up on top of my desk. We'll see how this goes. I've got stuff I need to get done, though.
  • Exercise - do my z-health drills. Figure out how to do some more upper body stuff today.
  • Life - continue to behave. Don't try to walk on the damn foot (I tried yesterday. No go. I tested just a little bit of weight this morning. Still no.) Take breaks from sitting. Figure out how to pad the back of my knee so that knee crutch stops killing me there.

u/-wu-tang- · 2 pointsr/ACL

Ill be 5 weeks post op (ACL & Meniscus medial) tomorrow. As the other posted stated i would try the stairs on the crutches before hand. Recommend you take it very slow. Limit the amount to you need to go up and down them. As you get comfortable it will get easier. I would get some crutch pads. Have been using these.

​

As for studying the first week will be the hardest but after that studying for an exam should not be hard. The toughest for me is time budgeting. With so much time I procrastinate.

​

Try to get the house organized before hand, pillows to raise the leg on the couch, make walking around with the crutches easier and some ice packs. Good luck! You can pm if you have any questions.

u/Yodster · 2 pointsr/NYList

I don't have a knee scooter (sold it already), but I do have an iWalk 2.0

I found it way more useful than a knee scooter, especially for doing stuff around the house or being in small spaces.

I'm in town this week if you're interested.

u/MrSamster911 · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

John Watson pulls off one quite well.

as seen here

you need to get one very simple, but still looks like you have a cane for MEDICAL reasons, not because you're cosplaying. pretty much something like this. then dress however you want to dress (though it helps to not dress like a 14 year old).

and if people give you shit for carrying a cane, don't be afraid to tell the, why you have it

I don’t know if you have the spare cash for this but one of my friends was in a similar situation and used this. She swears by it as it is much easier to maneuver than the knee scooters!

u/mheep · 2 pointsr/Ultralight

I'd echo what mt_sage said above, I think a cane/stool would be the least obtrusive way to carry what you are looking for around and could be considered a mobility aid in terms of luggage.

My brother in law went across the country for his bachelor party. He went with his brothers, best friends and his dad (his dad went to keep him out of trouble....)

After a night of going out, the went back to the hotel when my future brother in law had the genius idea to walk to a gas station looking for dip. He decided to take a short cut by going through some yards and jumping the fence. As he put it, he went up like Tarzan and down like Humpty Dumpty.

He shattered his ankle, broke his phone, and had to hobble to the street where a stranger drove him to the hospital. He had to have surgery and screws put into his ankle/foot.

For his wedding, he used a knee crutch. He looked like a pirate. My bridezilla of a sister surprised us all by not freaking out, despite the fact they had spent months on private dance lessons and had an adventurous honeymoon planned.

The bachelor party story was epically hilarious. It just added to it that they had wedding crashers in sports attire come to a black tie wedding. Then the bride and groom overslept the next day and missed their flight for their honeymoon. They lost a day on the island as a result. The whole thing was like a movie.

Can she use the forearm crutches or do you need the under arm kind. I have a pair of forearm crutches I can lend you. We are in upstate Manhattan so an easy subway ride.

u/Jafolio · 1 pointr/ChronicPain

40 with osteoarthritis of the spine here. I had the same apprehensions when thinking of switching from a cane to these (what I refer to as a forearm crutch). In my experience, folks in the US are a little more understanding that you have a condition when using these.

The cuffs do not come off unless I turn my to release them. This frees my hands up to do much more and I don't have to worry about dropping the crutch. My one recommendation is to look for a pair with well cushioned hand grips. I have this pair but would prefer to have this set if I were to purchase again.

u/spikeyfur · 1 pointr/relationships

You're likely going to be in a quite a bit of pain after your surgery. You really are going to need a lot of care in the first week post-surgery. I went through this recently with my SO. He broke his ankle in 2 places and had to have surgery to put in a plate and 6 or 8 screws. He was not able to really even move the first few days as he was in so much pain, and it took about a week for him to at least be somewhat comfortable again. I don't want to make you nervous, but I just want to tell you what you could be facing.

See if there is any way possible to have someone in your family or even a close friend come and be with you during this time. Your boyfriend is already feeling overwhelmed now, and it is going to get worse before it gets better. Even if you could rotate people after a day or two, to give your boyfriend a bit of a break, that would probably help. I did it without question for my SO, but we've been together for 13 years and I wouldn't have it any other way. If you and your boyfriend have not been together too long, this could definitely put some strain on your relationship.

After that initial period of pain, however, you should be able to start moving around again. I suggest getting: http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Medical-790-Steerable-Walker/dp/B003VMAKVS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414551922&sr=8-1&keywords=medical+scooter

or: http://www.amazon.com/iWALK-2-0-Hands-Free-Crutch/dp/B00092RB06/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414551964&sr=8-1&keywords=iwalk+free

**EDIT: If you have the type of injury that would allow for either of these devices. If not, I would definitely look for devices that would accommodate your injury. Being somewhat mobile is the key to your (even limited) independence and crutches are just a pain.

You can probably rent one of the scooters from your surgeon's office, but we found out the hard way that it was cheaper to buy one on Amazon and then resell it when you are finished with it. People told us that the iWalk crutch worked out well for them, too. By the fourth or fifth week post surgery, we were in Vegas with my SO scooting around all over the place. The scooter is a drunk person magnet, FYI. Ha ha

I hope you have a speedy recovery!

> Fuck the idea of for-profit healthcare right in the ass.

At the risk of sounding kind of like a jerk, can I point out that maybe it's your own fault for buying crutches at the hospital instead of paying $24 for them on Amazon?

I mean, seriously, even the Ontario health system is a ripoff by comparison.

And Canadian health care is also "for profit". Those doctors and nurses aren't working as volunteers. The government just tells those doctors and nurses that they can't make what they're worth in a free market.
