If you have a bilateral coalition (in both feet) then you should definitely invest in a knee walker/scooter. It is 10x faster than crutches and doesnt destroy your hands, arms or shoulders. The pressure on the knee/shin isnt too bad. This one cost about $250 but is worth every penny. Crutching can cause you to put more pressure on the foot used to support your weight. It took about 3 weeks to get my knee scooter so make sure you ask your doctor or insurance folks about getting one as soon as you decide to have a surgery. Go fast!
