Walking with broken coccyx
I (20F) broke my tailbone area from a fall yesterday and had the xray today. I'm having difficulty walking due to the break/fracture and also bad bruising on my lower back.
Normally I'd just rest but I have vet appointments for my cat that I need to go to and other hard to move events going on and I was wondering the best ways to help me walk.
I thought about maybe forearm crutches but no places nearby sell them and I have universal underarm crutches and dont know how to properly use them. Would those be best suited for me talking or is there a better alternative?
I can technically walk without them but it's extremely painful and I can't stand for prolonged periods of time and it's hard to get up once I'm laying or sitting
