Irritated a nerve around breast using crutches?
The proper way to use crutches is to place your weight on your hands, not under your arms. Crutches should be adjusted so that when you are using them, there is space between your armpit and the top of the crutches. If you are already using the crutches correctly yet you still have an irritated nerve you can try different crutches that wrap around your forearms, or use a walker or wheelchair.

Why would your arms tingle and get weak when using crutches incorrectly?
You are using the muscles in your arms in ways that are not normal. Using the crutches incorrectly can cut off the blood flow to the arms, making them all tingly. There is a key artery on the inside of your arm that can be squeezed shut by the foam padding.
