• I just cut my cast off
    47 replies, posted
So 3 days ago, I broke a bone in my wrist. They gave me a cast, said I had to wear it for 3 weeks and sent me on my way. Here's the catch: The inside was made out of foam and I sweat a lot, apparently this foam was supposed to be waterproof. BAD FUCKING COMBINATION. For 3 days I spent my time readjusting my cast so it was more comfortable, but it never was because the foam was sticking to me all the damn time. I find myself waking up in the middle of the night because it was so bad. Now, I'm usually a patient person and can deal with a lot, but this? dear god the combination of limited movement and sticky inside from the cast. I was about ready to chew my arm off. About an hour ago, I went into the garage and got a hedge trimmer and began chipping away at my cast, I finished in 30 minutes. The cast was made of fiberglass so there are little bits everywhere. Would you have done the same had you been in my situation? The great flame begins.
now your wrist will grow at an angle, in the wrong part of your arm gj
you are going to die

[QUOTE=Turkey Sandvich;24983775]My wrist feels fine right now[/QUOTE] It'll feel fine but it will grow on and angle and fuck up. Trust Me.
I broke my leg 5 weeks ago, my leg was in a full cast, i was fine. And i dont see how you could bring yourself to cut it off, Didnt your wrist hurt when you had finished and started moving it?
Bad choice. You shoulda learned to deal with it for 3 weeks.
Why didn't you go back to the hospital/doctor and asked for an alternative cast.
There's a reason your doctor told you to leave it on for three weeks. It wasn't to "bug" you, it was to let it heal back properly. You probably WILL end up having a problem with the bone without the cast to help it heal properly. Sucks if you use that wrist for anything. Next time, listen to the fucking doctor because he knows what he's doing.

go back to the doctor and get another cast
you should probably listen to your doctor(s)
You should've manned up. If it was annoying you, it'd be a lot better if you contacted a hospital and asked for a traditional plaster cast. You are taking the risk of permanently messing your arm up.
[QUOTE=crazysack;24983889]Why didn't you go back to the hospital/doctor and asked for an alternative cast.[/QUOTE] This. I asked for a different cast for my broken arm, and got one. :smug:
Go back to the fucking hospital and get a new cast you twat. I hope you have good health insurance too because those things ARE NOT CHEAP. If you don't want another cast, that's cool, just enjoy having an essentially useless wrist.
You're a fucking idiot, you know that? There's a REASON they told you to keep the cast on for 3 weeks!
fucking idiot. Deal with it, casts aren't that bad. Stop being a pussy, suck it up. And get another. If something was significantly wrong with the cast you should have told mom/dad not gone to the garage to take it off with dirty hedge trimmers.
I wouldn't worry about it, but then again it isn't my wrist so I really don't care. Either way, you're an idiot.
Someone make sure OP gets scabies soon, it'll probaly take a week for him to realise that he has it and it takes 4 weeks after you've applied the cure till it goes away.
enjoy your perpetually awkward and painful masturbation forever
The casts are just there to annoy you, don't listen to these people. You're fucking manly for cutting it off with a hedge-trimmer!
They'll probably have to break it again so they can re set it properly.
[QUOTE=Sethorion;24984806]They'll probably have to break it again so they can re set it properly.[/QUOTE] That actually happened to my uncle, but with his leg. It still isn't working well.
Uh, go to the doctor and get it casted again- they usually do it for free and right away if you just walk in.
Turkey Sandvich confirms for 12 year old little shit. I hope your parents break your ass bone with spanks when they have to pay for a new cast.
You're an idiot for removing the cast. Shoulda dealt with it.
OP you're an idiot I've had a cast before too and yeah it was horrible but you're supposed to deal with it
[QUOTE=OP]I have a broken wrist and cut off the only support it had meaning I shouldn't be able to put any pressure on my arm in the least but I can still type just fine![/QUOTE] yeah ok whatever you say
Like the others say, just go back and ask for a new cast.
Fucking pussy.
