I'm so sorry to hear about everyone's trouble. I only used crutches for awhile but the nurse made a big deal about where the crutches touched my body and how I leaned on them. My shoulder never hurt but my sides (ribs), arms and hands did. I thought my crutches were too low but she said not have them under my arm and push them into my body. This made it tolerable for me because otherwise my shoulders did hurt. This is the first time I heard of crutches harming you. I wish everyone well and thanks for the info.
Pinched nerves are definitely no fun. These next couple of weeks will seem REALLLLY long, but just get as much rest as you can and you will heal faster! The B6 supplement speeds up the healing a bit, so be sure to take it every morning with breakfast. *hugs* I hope you get better soon!
