I don't know if this will help much, I've had no first hand experience with casting and all, but I've seen quite a few people over the last 5 and a half years I've had rsd get their leg casted to try and straighten the foot out. It didn't work. As soon as the cast came off it went right back to the position it had been in. A few have even had surgery and needless to say that didn't do a darn thing to fix it either. The only thing it had done was set them back a bit because they were unable to move the ankle for awhile.
I don't know if you've seen RSDHope Keith's blog about his hbot journey. I think you'd find it very interesting. Here's the link:
