good buy crutches
Hello Gerry,
it's interesting that in the UK armpit crutches are not normally available, presumably because of the risk of nerve damage. Personally I do feel that if used properly these crutches would have been more helpful than either the forearm or elbow styles which were supplied.
Thanks JAne
