Answers:
Hopefully, when your Dr!. gets you into a cast, someone there will instruct you on using crutchess!. The biggest caution is "Use your hands for support and not the tops of the crutches!." The tops are padded so many people think that the padding is to ease the pressure on the armpits!. The crutch tops are merely for alignment and not support, and the padding is to protect your ribcage where the crutche top contacts it!. Meanwhile, stay off of it!. There are many web sights in Google on the use of crutches, one is below!. good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It will take a couple of weeks, but ask them to get you a cast and crutches soon, it might start healing badly!.

Good Luck!

Also, don't walk on it!

Unfortunately, a couple of weeks!.
Don't use your foot, though!. Get cruches and a cast as soon as possible!. Keep all pressure off of it!.
