my son hurt his foot and can't get around well.He has been trying to find somewhere to buy crutches and none of the pharmacies have them in stock.

I called Goodwill when I had some to give away and they told me they had hundreds.

I just Googled it, and it looks like you can order them online from places like Walgreen's and Walmart.

He needs them right away because he has to get yo work

In order to use crutches properly and not injure yourself with them you need to go to PT. You don't just pick them up and start walking with them. A person can severely injure themselves using them improperly.

@kze. Thanks for the goodwill idea...we will check that out

[KathyPet]

I am surprised none of your local drug stores have them.  I have seen them in stock around here at CVS and Walgreen's

[dex]

@151949 We didn't know that either...he has a doctor app tomorrow so maybe they will adjust them if he gets some

[dex]

@KathyPet Must be a lot of wounded in his area...all out or maybe it is because I just learned from another poster that they need to be adjusted for you by a pt. so maybe stores don't want responsibility or liability.

Try surgical supply stores, not pharmacies.  Or google medical equipment loan closets in your area.
