You need to put the crutch under your arm and it should be about 1 to 2 inches away from your pit. The crutch is suppose to be used by putting all your weight on your wrists/hands, NOT by resting you arm pit on the crutch then swinging forward.
I have recently got mine at a second hand store... found just the right size !!

You should adjust your crutches to about 3-4 inches lower than your armpit when standing.

You should be asking your Dr. if you want your injury to heal pro-
perley. Getting the wrong size can do you more harm than good.
See your or call your Dr.
