A member asked:
When on crutches does it matter if i put my foot infront of me and point my toes forwards, or have my foot behind me and have my toes point to the ground?

If you are not supposed to bear weight on the foot, then as long as your foot is not touching the floor, it is fine. It doesn’t really matter where your foot is as long as there is no weight being placed on your foot. Once your doctor says you can put some weight on it, then it can touch the floor. Hope you feel better soon!! Good luck!
