I have never been on crutches luckily but I have been told that funny enough, up hills and stairs is a lot easier than down on crutches. Maybe the guys who have experience can let us know.

Unless you really want an experience which makes OTB seem tame by comparison, be very, very careful when going down stairs on crutches.

"Prisencolinensinainciusol" (1972), written by Adriano Celentano, to mimic the way English sounds to non-English speakers despite being almost entirely nonsense. Thanks to Dara O'Briain who found it somewhere and shared it.

I bet it was uphill too.

 

In fact, it was up, down and flat.

Be glad. Actually, stairs are quite simple really. You get the hang of them very quickly, and learn to center you balance. The risk to me was since I was a laaitie with two extra legs, it was not long until I started hoofing around the school corridors at speed like a giraffe on 'roids. I had one or two near-spills. Going up or down stairs or inclines became second nature since my school was a two story affair and some of my classes were on the first floor.

 

What got me was the weight of the cast bruising my ankle. I wore that dastardly cast for 2 months. It was shear hell.
