Report to your hospital or the nearest hospital with an Accident & Emergency Department immediately if you experience any of the following:-
1) The toes or fingers become blue or swollen or if you are unable to move a limb.
2) The limbs become more painful.
3) You feel pins and needles or numbness.
4) Any blister like pain or rubbing under your cast.
5) There is a discharge, wetness or smell under the cast
6) If you drop any object inside the cast
Care
- Exercise the joints not held in the cast as much as possible.
- Elevate the limb as much as possible, especially during the first few days.
- Do not allow the limb to hang down unless it is being used.
- If your cast is made of Plaster of Paris, allow it to dry naturally and leave it uncovered for 48 hours.
- Do not sit close to the fire as your cast may become hot and burn you.
- Do not wet your cast. It may disintegrate or cause skin problems.
- Do not cut, heat or otherwise interfere with your cast. If the cast becomes cracked, soft, loose or tight, or if you are worried, return to the hospital.
