Tho for only 10 days [?] Gotta say, that leg never ITCHED like it did then and never again... Once off? All I did was go into the shower and let it RINSE until there was no more hot water! Pens, chopsticks, skewers, NOTHING could get under that cast to where it itched! It was a 'walking cast'-below the knee to the toes-Those toes did get pretty grubby that way tho....
Now, w/neuropathy, itches are somehow different...no better way to explain it other than different. More persistant, strange, burning, zapping whatever.
The ONE GOOD THING ABOUT CASTS? THEY COME OFF!!! Remember that and enjoy that moment when AIR hits that formerly confined skin.
Enjoy that cast coming off? Bathe it specially and slather on softeners... Not long now... HUGS! - 's!!!!!!!! - j
