Crutches must be fitted to each person. Stand up straight with the palm of your hand pressed against your body under your arm. Your hand should fit between the top of the crutches and your armpit. When using crutches, your elbow should be slightly bent at about 30 degrees and your hands, not the armpits, should support your weight. Weight on the armpits can cause nerve damage. If anything needs to be carried, it is best to use a backpack.

I also broke my leg and I have to use crutches so i avoid putting them too close under my arms or that will make them sore.

Get towels and put them over the clutch.
or get pads like for scartes those work
or just dont actually lean on the armoit part itself
