TransForearmCrutches Tips!:
You can buy some on Amazon if your doctor doesn't approve you some!
Wobble/limp a bit when walking! Try to seem like you don't trust your own legs.
Grab onto nearby things (walls, tables, etc) to steady yourself!
Make strained faces (not too dramatic!) When walking. Scrunch your nose a bit, shut your eyes slightly when stepping down stairs/jumping
Complain about leg pain occasionally!
Try to intentionally roll your ankles a bit, this can weaken them over time!
TransKneeBraces Tips!:
Knee braces, like forearm crutches, can be found on Amazon!
Try to relax your knees a LOT more than what would be comfortable to walk with!
When walking, occasionally make one knee suddenly lock up or limp, making you almost fall.
Walk with your feet facing outwards or inwards to make your gait seem instabilized by your knees!
(For the doctor's visit, say stuff like "my knees seem to give out a lot when I walk. My legs also hurt if I walk too long and I have to elevate them to keep them from aching after walking")
