Broken ankle?
Posted , 6 users are following.
hello all fellow sufferers.
I just wanted to sheare a huge tip with you all that has transformed my life! ......I was struggling on crutches which I found exhausting as well and frightening.. but have just bought a knee walker on Amazon (£120) which I hadn't even heard of before, and it is SO much better.... I can buzz around my flat from kitchen to bathroom etc and it feels really stable and easy. WHAT a difference. I know it's sounds like a lot but with 6 weeks weight off it only works out at £20 a week so worth every penny. Good luck everyone!

I am happy you have found something that works for you! They look really good. I didn't have the money for one unfortunately so I am using a four wheel walker with seat and brakes which I borrowed from the Red Cross. I put my knee on the seat part and scoot along and find it so much easier than the crutches. I had a triple arthrodesis so no weight bearing for 8 - 10 weeks. Now in week 3 and so far so good. Good luck to everyone out there!
