Millerprof, I went thru the same worry in the fall. My daughter, playing soccer, in the fall had sprained her ankle and the Dr. said it is so bad we are going to cast her for 2 weeks and i was like no way! He thought i was nuts but i asked what other options and she ended up with a camboot. I was so paranoid everytime she complained. It did take a while to heal and thank heavens it healed with no lasting problems. Hopefully your daughter will be the same. I think since we have RSD we are much more cautious of just casting. How is your RSD? momof4
