Absolutely on the non-injured side...the cane should move forward in coordination with the injured leg on the opposite side. Plant weight on the injured leg and cane at the same time and take a normal length step with the non-injured leg.

Listen to everyone who has said it goes on the good side, NOT the hurt side. I just had some left knee surgeries and walked with one crutch and then a cane and I put them on my right side.

It's the opposite side of the injured or hurt side of your body/leg.

the cane is to be used on the side opposite the hurt leg. so u can support yourself whilr walking on that leg better. i was told by a physical therapist and it worked better for me while i had to use one.

Hold the cane in the hand on your unaffected side so that it provides support to the opposite lower limb. Always have the unaffected lower limb assume the first full weight-bearing step on level surfaces.

First i could ask the checklist why the left part fairly of the suited part, in no way heard of that previously. 2d the discomfort is in all probability from the gas they put in your pelvic section to blow you as much as get the appendix out much less complicated. you will sense bloated and look pregnant. Take some gas X to help get the gas out. If the discomfort remains as undesirable after the gas is long gone or a minimum of lessened then you somewhat ought to communicate on your Dr. No, That lots discomfort isn't accepted and mine bursted the minute the checklist decrease me open to get rid of mine and that i had discomfort yet no longer insufferable. quite often by an infection the place they had to bathe me out and circulate my organs to do it and suck up all the an infection & water. My cousin and sister the two had theirs bumped off and replaced into lower back in school in under 2 weeks.

You should always put the can opposite the hurt side.

Supposed to be on the uninjured side, supporting your weight while you are on the injured leg.
