Question
I am to have no weight bearing for 4 weeks.  If I walk on only the heel of my foot and do not put any weight or pressure on the center of my foot would this be ok.  I am in a soft boot.  I am 61 years old and the crutches are soooo hard.  Thank you.

If A doctor suggests that you are non weight bearing, it is my understanding that no weight at all should be put on any area of the foot.

I understand the issue with the crutches and if they are hard for you to maneuver, see if you can get a walker to use for the time you are non weight bearing.  A walker can be more stable for you.

Best of luck
