Answers:
Well you gotta do what you gotta do!. A cane would probably be better after a year and a half!. If you don't give your ankle the right care, it will hurt!. Get a cane and customize it with cool stuff so it won't look so bad!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't worry if you use crutches you may not be able to open doors but with a can you can!. make the best of it if you get a cane then you can have mare mobility and if you are dead set against it talk to your mom and doctor and come up with an alternative!. Just be honest and camly state your reasons!. See what your doc recommends and try to trust their advice they did go to med school!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

if the crutches arent bothering you then dont use a cane!. if the crutches are bothering you then use the cane!. i personnally would use the cane!. i was on crutches for 2 months because i broke my ankle and i couldnt stand it they wer so annoying!. how do you go an entire year and a half!? i'd be so annoyed!. arent crutches really uncomfortable!? but i agree that getting a cane would be kinda embarassingWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sorry about your situation, I have been on crutches 13 months and understand how you feel!. I would check with my Dr!. to see what he/she has to say about deferring to a cane!. In my personal opinion, I would stick it out with crutches and gait walk depending on how much weight you are allowed to put on your affected leg!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A cane would probably be better, you won't get embarrassed depending on how big it is(staff or rod) or what it looks likeWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have to use a walker!. So if I was you I would get a good looking cane, it looks a lot cooler!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What does your doc say!? That's the first question to me!.
good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
