hello gcoe
and thanks for advice.The ortho team do know that I really struggle with non wt bearing- I have OA in shoulder,spine and L hip, have had bilateral trapeziectomy. laminectomy and TKRs. The L knee (TKR) is becoming painful and is starting to feel unstable and other joints are painful and cannot take my weight.
Given that the team is aware of my problems I just need to know which is the lesser of the 2 evils- heel or toe pressure?
I am in the meantime resting as much as possible.
thanks
Jane
oh and yes I was shown how to use the crutches
