I have a cast and the cotton liner in the inside won't stay above my cast..!


Question: I have a cast and the cotton liner in the inside won't stay above my cast..help!?
I got my cast last week and the stuff they wrap around your leg before they put the fiberglass cast over it is falling down inside my cast at the top. What can I do to make it stay above my cast? I can pull it up, but then it keeps going down again! What can I do?!

Answers:

Sorry to hear about your injury.
You can pull the liner up and around the top of the cast and than tuck-tape it around the outside top of the cast. This is not esthetically beautifully but very effective.
If you need to go out formally with the cast you will have to wrap it up to cover it.

Experience



Call doctor and asked to be recasted. Tell them its rubbing the skin raw.
