Ouch, this hurt!! taking cast off my ankle!! ):?!


Question: Ouch, this hurt!! taking cast off my ankle!! ):!?
i broke my ankle, so i was in a cast for 4 1/2 weeks, and when they cut it off with the saw thing i got 4 cuts on my leg because of the saw!. has this happened to you!?!? is it normal!? or is it just an unprofessional doing it!?!?

right now i'm in a brace/splint and still can walk, even though the physician told me i can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Sounds like whoever removed your cast didn't know what they were doing!

If you are having trouble walking, you should ask your physician for a referral to a physical therapist for stretching and strengthening exercises!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ummmm i have had lots of casts because I'm accident prone and it is impossible to get cut by the saw because the saw is only dull enough to cut through the cast material!. you may feel a lot of heat on your skin, but not any breaking of your skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
