Problem: broken heel with 3 permanent screws in it. After 2 weeks I got a permanent cast yesterday Friday June 5th, 2009. It hurts terribly, pills don’t even help When I had a “soft” cast it was knee high, I cut it and made it ankle high because it was killing me. It worked very well, cut the majority of pain Question: If I do the same with this “permanent” cast, will that affect the time and especially the quality of the … well, will it just recover right? With lower cast will it be the same or is it dangerous from the medical standpoint? Because with the tall cast it hurts very much and the wound (heel) is constantly disturbed by the cast and I can’t put my leg down it is a pure torture. When the cast was shorter everything was “great” as much as it can be in this situation. At least it did not hurt all the time and I could put down the leg and give it a rest So, can I just cut part of the cast without making it worse for the heel to heal?
