Concerns about your cast?

- exercise any joints that aren’t covered by the cast – such as your elbow, knee, fingers or toes – to help improve your circulation
- avoid getting small objects, powders and sprays inside your cast, as they could irritate your skin
- don’t try to alter the length or position of your cast
- don’t lift anything heavy or drive until the cast has been removed
