My mom used to have crutches because she sprained her ankle. She told my brother and sister that, combined with her fibromyalgia, it was the most painful time of her life.
Yeah, fibromyalgia can mess stuff up. In this condition the doctors should have given her a wheelchair, I think. But otherwise crutches are a better option - you can go up the stairs when there's no elevator, you don't need anyone to push the wheelchair and you're overall much more independent. Also, your arms get a workout :D
Thats just your average girl after I tip them
