I really appreciate you mentioning this, at 3:00 am, meds finally wore off, was time to head into the kitchen, so I took a look at them, and they are marked for height, I lowered the legs down all the way, tried that, better, now this morning on the way to make my breakfast, prior to, I raised the hand holds on them all the way up, much better, my armpits were getting sore and moving on crutches was becoming unbearable. My left leg is getting a workout, but I will bet it will strengthen more and allow me a little more "up time" and not so much discomfort.
The medical staff was very nice to me, I tried be as good a patient as I could be too, they thanked me on that. I think the discharge people should tip you off to that, as when you first get them, (and I have not been on them since '78 or so I had no idea about proper adjustment) Now that I think of it, she asked if I knew how to use them, I said yes. All they need to do is tell you how they should fit and not bear weight on the armpits, no amount of padding would suffice there.
Again, that little tidbit of info you posted prompted me get it done, I can't say with all the meds and such that I would have figured it out, mind was a little fuzzy yesterday, now clear as a bell, my sincere thanks for that advice !!!!!
