i have a plaster cast on my wrist and have had an itch since saturday which i just cant get rid of. The doctors at the hospital recommended ice packs which doesnt help, sticking things down the cast doesnt help, i got it a tiny bit wet the other day and am wondering if thats whats caused it? cheers

is it plaster or is it plastic quick set mesh?

the itch is because the cloth has been rubbed through

i was wondering if i had a reaction to the thing as i couldnt scratch it away lol

Smiggy

Knitting needle with a thin cloth or something. Push the cloth through from one end to the other with the knitting needle. Then with an end of cloth sticking out of each end of the plaster move it back and forwards over the itch.

plastic cast then, it'll itch where it's rubbed through the first layer of wrapping

ask them to remove it and give you another one, it's cool the way they cut it off, you can get them in al sorts of colours, i've had pink, blue yellow and multicoloured's, all the fluresant versions

i'll see if i can find some pics

oh yeah, if you get it done when it's proeprly cold, when yo go outide, you can see it wafting hot vapour into the atmosphere as it sets

when it comes off, you'll notice that your arm is much much thinner than it was, just get using it asap afterwards or else you'll get stuck with limited movements, and take the option of physio
