Question: What does it feel like when you have a cast on your leg, can you answer for me!?
Hello, I have this question, I'm 11 and I broke my leg yesterday and I will get a cast the next days, for now I'm in bed and with some pain in my leg and I was wondering how does it feel like when you have a cast!. Probably I will get a full leg cast because I broke my tibia, and I want to know what does it feel like!. ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Miserable! it's hot, heavy and itchy!. hard to get around in! you have to cover it with a plastic bag to take a shower!. if you get the cast wet your skin could become emaciated!. yuck! i feel sorry for you having to get a cast this close to Christmas!. make sure that you check your toes several times a day!. if they start to change colors (red, blue, purple) contact your dr asap! also check the temperature of your toes (hot or cold)!. hot could mean there is an infection and cold could mean that the circulation is being compromised!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It feels very stiff!. I had two casts on my leg for six months!. I broke my tibia and fibula and had six screws and a plate in my leg!. It was very painful and I was in surgery about 6 hours!. Thank God, the doctor saved my leg and I can walk normally today!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
