I just had surgery a few days to remove a huge bone spur on my heal and to repair the Achilles’ tendon along with it. Very painful! The oxy they gave does not do crap for the pain. I have never been on crunches before since I have never had a broken bone in my leg. I will never use them again. Took them and wrapped them around a tree and bought me a knee scooter. A lot easier to move around in
