Question for people who have used crutches before...

What do you do when your armpits hurt so bad from crutches that you don't want to use crutches anymore?
Is there a solution for this? I put towels on top of my crutches already but they still hurt my arms, so i've resorted to hopping around my condo but that's not going to work if I need to go somewhere (for example, to church tomorrow).
I've used crutches one other time (sophomore year at Case) but they didn't hurt my arms as badly...i don't know why...

  1. Are they the proper height? Perhaps they need to be adjusted to be shorter (and I am not secretly making fun of your height :-p haha)

  2. they're the shortest that they have...sooo, 5'2". Is that the problem?...However, I don't think I'll be using them after today at the rate my foot is healing (praise God for that) cause I can walk without crutches right now. Sooo, I might not need to use crutches!

  3. I'm glad to hear you're healing up very nicely! Maybe if you ever need to use them again, you can just wear heels or something hahaha... kinda defeats the purpose of crutches I think but they may be less painful :-p
