I hurt my leg and need to use crutches. I'm getting some pain / bruising in my hand along the edge of the wrist, from outer edge of hand to the thumb. Basically, the base of the palm.

I'm using some cycling gloves with gel in the right spot but it's rather a cheap glove and the gel isn't really too effective.

Any recommendations for a padded glove (fingerless?) that can help with crutches use? Hopefully not too expensive (ideal if I can use with bikes as well I guess).

I'm looking at cycling gloves, mechanix, wells lamont but haven't found anything suitable yet.

Would a piece of foam pipe insulation on the crutch grip do the trick?
That would be cheap.

Perhaps. I could try if I can order online. Would prefer to order online rather than go to a store at this point.

I wear these gloves when lifting weights. There is padding but it isn't too thick.

Try vet wrap. Also called sports wrap I believe. It only sticks to itself so there’s no adhesive residue if you remove it. It’s soft and spongy.

Get a pool noodle from Walmart and slice it with a razor blade to fit. Then wrap in place with ace bandage, total cost about $4.00 delivered.
