If you have to ask, then you don't need them.
Crutches are only needed when it is impossible for one leg to bear any weight at all due to injury. If the leg can bear some weight, but not the full extent of the person's weight, then a cane is usually used, though most people use it improperly. Many use it on the side of the affected leg, when it's supposed to be used on the opposite side of the leg that is injured, e.g., if the left leg is injured or can't bear weight, then the cane is used in the right hand. As the person walks, when the leg comes down the bulk of the weight is shifted by the user to the cane instead.
Any condition where your doctor suggest you to be off weight from one limb. Many causes name few - amputation, nonhealing ulcer, tuberculosis. Injury etc.

no i need you to answer it not me you need to tell me the answer.
Go see a doctor and they will tell you what is wrong with it and if there is enough damage to need crutches
All people with jellyfish stings to the leg or foot will need crutches
that would depend how damaged it is if it is very damaged you would need the crutches, and if it is not that damaged then you wont need it, but it will get worse without crutches
I'm no positive, but i know ankle, thigh, hip, or foot injuries need crutches on some occations.
Sometimes you do, it depends on the kind of cast you get. If the surgery makes you get a hard cast (the ones friends can sign), you need crutches. It you get a cast with a hard bottom, you also need them. The only time you don't need crutches is if the cast is EXTREMELY soft.
Actually using the crutches to ride is difficult, And usually if you need crutches there's something wrong with your legs, and you tend to need those to ride. But assuming that you're still fit enough to operate the bike there's no law against strapping a pair of crutches to the bike to bring them with you.
I feel you, literally. I had a really bad bruised foot, and then I irratated it on monday and then on Tuesday I went to the ER. Next day, I went to the foot doctor and It was fractured/ broken. I am now on crutches with a boot for a month. So if I were you, I would go to the doctor and get it checked out. Then probably you will get crutches. My foot was still bruised 3 weeks later.
It depends on you. If there's no fracture, than you don't need crutches unless you want crutches. If you feel you cannot walk easily/ step on your sprained ankle at all, than you should get crutches. If you can limp around just fine, then there is no reason to get crutches.
are you sexy
Yes.
Crutches should not be used unless there is a specific need. Walking with crutches can cause falls, can result in pulled muscles, and can create new pain in an otherwise healthy person. Crutches shift the body's center of gravity and should not be used as a "plaything". As well, unless crutches are fitted properly for height and weight, the use of crutches can cause shoulder injuries.Instead of wishing to be on crutches, discuss why you are feeling you want them. Do you feel people on crutches get more attention? That they get out of responsibilities or get special perks? If so, discuss with your parents or a counselor what you feel you lack as far as attention.You might also talk to someone who has had to maneuver on crutches. It is not easy. It makes the arms, shoulders, back and the "unaffected" leg feel sore. It can create hip pain. Crutches cause inconvenience since you can't use your hands or arms to carry things. I bet people who have used crutches will tell you that they hated every minute and couldn't wait for the day they didn't have to use them anymore.
