I am still using the crutch given by physio when in hospital. Still have really powerful spasms in my right leg so need support at all times but the crutch is really cumbersome even to travel with or store??
You can buy folding crutches that are much easier to deal with.
Trekking poles are an alternative possibility and can be bought singly
Did the physio assess your walking before giving you a crutch, because it might be for a good reason.
Anyway, trekking poles are a good shout as they are both strong and light. Most outdoor shops will have them and some have a t handle, if you prefer.
I find magnesium helps to ease problems with spasm & cramp and is a beneficial mineral, so no harm in trying.
