Online you can find lots of colourful elbow crutches but they are a

bit pricey.. Walking sticks... The adjustable height folding ones I keep in the back of my scooter you can get flowered or sparkly all colours and designs from any Eden mobility shop. They are much less expensive. I have bright flowery ones .... Though I was tempted by the pink and silver sparkly ones .

I'm hoping to turn my NHS elbow-crutch into a steampunk light saber ... watch this space!

There are quite a few online sites that look good - I googled pretty crutches, or something similar, and came up with a lot of places. As VG said, though, they're a tad 'spensive, hence my current plan to pimp the one the physio gave me!

I jazzed up my adjustable stick with some sticky gems that I bought online. Although I don't use it a lot, whenever I do, I usually get people asking me where I bought it! It looks a bit like a magic wand ;) Jane x

Sounds like a great idea Jane and a cheaper option than buying a fancy already decorated stick which would be much more expensive! :)

have you a local Red Cross shop? I bought a purple pair of crutches from them, were around £15
