A member asked:

Basically, my left leg hurts really bad, i can hardly walk on it and i'm wondering if i should get crutches for it? im not sure.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: You can get crutches so you don't have to try and bear weight on the limb. But I would also recommend seeing a doctor to find out why you have such severe leg pain. Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) will also help in the interim with pain until you can see the doctor.
