Question: Do I still have to be on crutches after cast is off after 3 months?
I'm wearing a cast on my leg for 3 months. As soon as it comes off do i have use cruthes still? If it is yes how long? Because I have to go to work 1 day after taking the cast off.
Answers:
Most likely, the answer will be yes. As you had a cast for 3 months, your leg will be weak and unable to support you fully, so you will need to use your crutches to support yourself as your leg gradually begins to build up strength. When I had a similar injury, I had to wait 4 weeks in order to walk unsupported, putting 25% more of my body weight on the leg each week.
