Hey,
Wrap a towel around the top of each crutch!. Then maybe a small dish rag on the hand part!. Good Luck!!

You could try the cuff type crutches, the ones without the armpit extensions!. These force you to use them correctly & prevent pressure on the underarm nerves!. Also, the height adjustment is important!. Experiment by changing the height one hole up from where they are currently set, & one hole down!. Padded grips will help prevent soreness & blisters!.

You put them by the end of your ribs, they don't go under your armpits!. I was on crutches for a while, and I found it was alot easier to use my ribs instead of under my armsWww@Answer-Health@Com
throw them away and get a wheelchair!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try putting sponge like material around the handles, makes them much more easier to handle :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
