Re: popping cast update

[Guest guest]

I am late replying to this but I did read your original post.

Isaac had a total of 11 casts. One did that popping noise. I

noticed it when he was flexing his thigh muscles only bc the other

leg was not in cast. I think it must have been the plaster giving a

little. Never had that issue again though.

My hubby said that the saw they use in the office doesn't cut, just

vibrates whatever that means. Anyway, glad all the joints look ok.

popping sound I was hearing from within the cast. We weren't really

supposed to take it off until Sunday, but since I had the s,

I figured we would just put him in the shoes until the appt. with

the ortho. By the way, my husband was home this time so we soaked

the casts in some warm, soapy water. My husband unwrapped as much of

the cast as he could and then, (to my horror!) he said he had a

little electric saw that he would use to cut off the rest of the

cast. I thought he was nuts, but he kept insisting that it was

similar to the cast saw they use at the Dr's office. I was sweating

bullets the whole time, but he took it off in less than 2 minutes

and without any problems. What a relief! Anyway, the foot looks

good. The toes seemed a little curled down again (probably just from

the cast again). It's just really hard for me to tell if the foot is

100% straight (without that c-shape). I did the " V " test and I

> didn't notice any difference between his left and right feet. But

then again, it's hard for me to judge the foot when it is just

barely out of the cast. I think it takes a few days before the shape

of the foot really becomes visible. It does look better though, so I

will just wait to see what the ortho says this afternoon. I didn't

notice anything unusual in the knee or ankle area so I really have

no idea where that popping in the cast came from.
