I have a hard plaster cast on my leg for a partial Achilles tendon rupture. I was told by the Orthopedic that I have to wear it for 3 months, but he never fully explained how wearing the cast would help heal my leg or why I have to wear it. However, he did state that I would have to have a new cast put on every month. He treated me very poorly and I refuse to go back to him! My questions are:
1.How imperative is it to have the hard plaster cast replaced?
2.Can I wear the same hard plaster cast for 3 months?
3.If I do wear the same hard cast for 3 months without going back the Orthopedic, can I remove the cast myself? If so, how can I remove it?
-Thanks
