# LemonAid Crutches

September 13, 2012 by Skye 64 Comments

Having a broken bone is no fun. Having a broken bone that you can’t walk on is even worse! Getting from point A to point B is no longer as easy as getting up and walking where you want to go. You can crawl, hop or use crutches to help! When I left the ER after finding out I had indeed broken my bone they sent me home with an ugly, uncomfortable pair of standard crutches that I quickly learned to hate. They were super painful to use and when I gimped around with them they made loud “look at me” squeaks that had everyone with in a mile turning around and looking at me!

I discovered CastCoverZ when searching online for nonsqueaking crutches! CastCoverZ.com offers functional and fashionable products designed to cover casts, walking boots, splints and braces, and companion products to bring relief and comfort to orthopedic patients, including LemonAid Crutches! LemonAid Crutches are made of high-tech, lightweight aluminum construction and are powder-coated for ultimate durability and brilliant color. The crutches are available in three sizes (small, medium and tall) and available in ten beautiful colors.

My favorite color is red, so I was sent the beautiful Candy Apple Red crutches in size medium because I am 5′ 4″. They arrived in about 3 days and I was instantly amazed at the vibrant, deep crimson red. I found that the arm and hand pads were a bit more thick than the standard ones that came from the ER- however they still hurt my arms after lots of use. For relief from that, I added CrutchWear Underarm pads (review coming soon)!

My favorite feature of LemonAid Crutches is their affordability! CastCoverZ offers all-in-one pricing that includes shipping and is super affordable. The ER charged me 115.00 for the ugly, uncomfortable crutches they sent me home in. CastCoverZ sells LemonAid Crutches for 75.00 with standard shipping included, priority shipping costs 20.00 more and you will get your crutches in 3-5 days.

Buy It: You can purchase LemonAid Crutches for 75.00 from castcoverz.com!

   Those are so cool! Who wouldn’t prefer those over the ugly ones sent home from the hospital? I love that they have more padding, too.

   They are painful, aren’t they?! I had bruises under both my arms from using them, these would have been great. I never even thought to check online for something like this. I figure it’s only a matter of time before my oldest breaks something and she would love the camo ones! I won’t order ahead and jinx it but I probably should bookmark their page!

   I love my bubblegum pink crutches with the Hearts to You crutch covers and bag. They are so cute and highly functional. I get compliments on them all the time! I broke both leg bones in my right ankle and needed surgery, 7 screws, etc. I didn’t find out about the LemonAid crutches until about a week after I started using the crutches they gave me at the hospital. I wasn’t allowed to put any weight on my ankle for two months, now I think I’ll need them for at least another month. Even with the priority shipping that comes to about $1 per day. I was initially weary of what the quality was like, but they are better than the ones they gave me at the hospital.

   If you are going to order the crutches, definitely spend the extra and get the crutch covers and bag. I live in the city and don’t own a car, so getting around involves a lot of “crutching”. With the original crutches that I was given at the hospital, I had majorly swollen hands that hurt more than my broken ankle!!! The crutch covers provide the perfect amount of padding and my hands stopped hurting. They are also very comfortable under my arms. The bag is a lifesaver too. It holds my cell phone, wallet, keys, and a bottle of water. I could go on longer, but it looks like a review of those other things are coming soon.

   Also, give them a call if you have any questions. They are super sweet and very aware and sympathetic that you have a broken bone!!!

   Again, I am a Nurse in a very busy ER and I will totally tell my pts about these. They are so adorable and totally affordable! They sound so much better than the ones we give you in the ER. I also love the bootie that fitts over the cast that is shown in the picture! Thanks for the information about this and about the Dry Cast. I can’t wait to tell my boss and Charge Nurse about these things and best of all I can’t wait to tell my poor pts about them too. Thank You! I hope you feel better soon!

    ‘Knock on wood’ neither my kids or myself have ever broken a bone, but I’m sure it’s inevitable. This sounds so much better than regular crutches, I’ve heard people comment on how uncomfortable regular ones are, and of course teens (and myself) would be cheered up a bit by having some fun style if we have to be on them. Very cool find Thank You!

    You are right about the dull crutches that are so clinical. I think when you have to live with them for several weeks they might as well be nice looking and comfortable

    It’s a shame that you broke your leg and know how uncomfortable and painful it was for you. These crutches are very stylish and would definitely make a fashion statement. Despite the appearance, what is most important is the comfort for you. If I am ever in need, I’m going to check these out. Thanks.

    I’m so sorry about you being hurt…not being able to do the things you are used to is always hard, and crutches are no fun. My daughter broke her toe when she was in the second grade and had to use crutches. Not only are they hard to get around in, but they hurt your underarms. I remember her having to try to stick pads or fold up blankets to try to help ease the pressure.
