Regarding Removal Of My Plaster
I am on fibreglass cast from 16 days as there is little fracture detected on my right leg 5th metatarcel base bone which is Avulsion fracture I guess, please confirm the same. I am taking currently Calcium and Cissus Quadrangularis Tablets since from the day plaster is ON, I have below questions,
1) I am feeling very uncomfortable and I want to remove plaster, is it ok to remove plaster in next 1-2 days and I will take care to not put waight on plaster leg for next 2 weeks so thus I will complete a month with no bearing waight on my fracture leg
2) Before removing plaster, Can i do Xray and if Xray says that my fracture is healing (which is the stage when Dr suggest remove fracture) , then can i remove my plaster and be immobilized at home for next 2 weeks
3) Looking at my Xray is it minor fracture or major one?
4) I am taking above tablets what are chances that my fracture bone started healing and safe to remove plaster
