There is never a good time to be recovering on one foot after a surgery or injury. You've quickly found that crutches don't fit your needs. They are often more painful and limiting that the initial surgery. With them you loose the use of both your hands as you try to balance on one foot.
Someone might have mentioned a knee scooter (also known as a knee walker or roll-about) as a modern option to crutches. They've provided relief for millions of people, just ensure you ask the right questions to make sure you get relief, not more struggles.
This is a medical device that you will rely upon for your safe recovery. Make sure the device is not a disposable toy but a device registered with the FDA as required by law and your insurance company.

The years pass and suddenly you are looking over your children wondering when you became the adult. Kids have such a carefree way of living and as an adult, it’s hard to get back to that type of world. If you sustain some sort of injury, you might feel like you are even farther away from a child’s life, but that’s where you’re wrong. Try the Knee Scooter and you can be a kid again! Here’s how.
Take a look at your child’s bike. Does it have a basket on the front? So do the Knee Scooters! You can put your keys, water, or anything else in that basket. Or, be more like a kid and keep baseball cards and bouncy balls in there instead. The only thing missing from your Knee Scooter is a bell to go with the basket. Why not add that as well, just for fun!

As you search for different options, you must weigh the pros and cons of each solution. Crutches, while the most common choice for staying off your foot while healing, can also cause pain in other areas of the body. Knee scooters are a more costly option, but they do allow for safer healing. If you do choose the knee scooter, don’t sacrifice safety for savings. While you might find one for as little as $100, a good quality unit will cost $350 or more. What do the more expensive scooters have that cheap ones don’t? Here’s a brief list.

A leg or foot injury can really slow you down, but that’s not the only problem you’ll face. Crutches, while difficult to use quickly and efficiently, also cause serious pain in your upper body. Your shoulders, wrists, underarms, and even lower back will all suffer after just a short time on crutches. Fortunately, you have other options.
You may be aware of knee scooters, even if you heard a different name. Some call them leg caddies, knee walkers, or roll-abouts. Whatever the name, it’s synonymous with relief. Rolling on a knee scooter is so much easier than using crutches, and the possibilities for keeping your life moving can be exciting. Just remember: Nothing is perfect. While you’ll certainly have the ability to stay more active, you’ll also run into a few snags.
