Fiber glass cast is now too tight
5 days ago i broke my 5th metatarsal bone at the base. The cast is now feels too tight since i felt very irritated and at times disturbed the cast. Now the cotton padding inside stacked at certain points making it tight. I somehow removed a few cotton but now it feels uncomfortable. I saw on net about boot walkers. Plz tell me if i can get this cast removed today and buy that boot walkwr instead. If i wear that boot walkwr everytime it will be like cast only.

First of all plaster is not a comfortable to have...u shouldn't have removed cotton as it is for extra padding to avoid pressure on skin and bones.... Plaster boot is really good but come at very high cost... If u could afford definitely u can go for it..
