Comfort for Crutch Users

bagbalm  Comfort for Crutch UsersIt’s been a long winter here in Denver, Colorado. I am fortunate to have custom crutch handles on my forearm crutches-but my hands still take some serious abuse in the winter. If you use crutches, whether they are underarm or forearm crutches, you know what I mean. Your hands get chapped, they crack and look terrible. There is good news for crutch users-it’s called Bag Balm. Legend has it that this was used by farmers to keep the cows udders from cracking and splitting in the winter-I don’t care if it was developed for cows! It works wonders on my hands and recommend that you give it a shot. I’ve tried everything and Bag Balm is the best remedy for those of us who use crutches in winter weather. Do you have a great product that I should recommend-shoot me an email!

    Looking for winter crutch tips. Hopefully some which can be some how utilized interchangably indoors and outdoors? I’m in New England and with snow already on the ground I’m unable to use my forearm crutches and have to use a regular walker for safety. I hate it. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks
