Is Prescription Needed For Purchasing Crutches?
Hi I want to buy crutches for my brother who broke his toe. Do I need a prescription from a doctor to purchase them or could I just purchase them from a pharmacy. And do I need proof that my brother has an ankle sprain to purchase the crutches or will they give them to me and take my word for it. Because he literally can not walk and I don t think he would be able to even make it to a pharmacy he is in so much pain!
