How can you tell if you need crutches?
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.

What dangers are associated with using crutches?
The greatest problem in the use of crutches is the lack of instruction on the proper use, which can result in a fall and additional injuries. Many people bear the weight on the axillae (armpits), which causes a great deal of compression that can damage to the radial nerve. The weight should be placed on the palms, which creates a more downward pressure on the crutches for more stability where they contact the walking surface. When the weight is place in the armpits, the crutches are most likely to slip out of place and cause a fall.
Where do you say the pain is to get on crutches?
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.
