So, I'm usually in an air cast once every year or two for that with crutches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81567 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:43:37 +0000 anbanan15 81567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my right foot cast over the holidays! It was for a bad sprain though.</p> <p>I've had my left foot cast (the boot cast) due to a fracture and my right foot done on three different occasions. I broke my right foot literally in half through the metatarsal and dealt with all the healing casting stuff then 6 months later they decided I needed surgery and it fused which was 3 months of castings, mostly non-weightbearing. Not fun when your a senior in college! The last time was as mentioned above and in order to minimize my chances of another surgery since that foot lost all stricture when I fractured it before. I also broke a toe when I was little but they never cast it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81559 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:38:12 +0000 prettylizy 81559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing- and that's after 20 years of horseback riding and my fair share of bumps, bruises and sprains etc. I like to think it's because I drink so much milk, hubs just thinks I'm lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81537 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:18:16 +0000 MaisyMay 81537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I walk a lot at work. When you wear out the lining, it becomes uncomfotable and doesn't help support the bone, so they have to recast it. I was told that for a person wearing a cast for 4 weeks, they should expect to get it replaced once, but since I'm on my feet a lot, twice is not insane. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81532 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:15:01 +0000 mrswin 81532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twice (so far hehehe). I am a klutz and have broken both my foot and my thumb over the years.</p> <p>I also broke my baby toe last year but I didn't count that since they didn't cast it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81476 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:47:38 +0000 heffalump 81476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only time I had a cast was when my dad (who's a foot doctor) came into my math class to talk about his job because we got extra credit for anybody we brought in. He put a cast on my leg and was taking it off when the principal walked by- really freaked our principal out until he learned he was my father. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81432 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:19:51 +0000 mediagirl 81432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch! No, thankfully I have never had to wear a cast for any reason. I have had sprains and shin splints and all those fun things but nothing serious enough for a cast, thank goodness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81430 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:18:38 +0000 Alivoo01 81430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Holy crap!! Twice in 4 weeks?! Craziness!!</p> <p>I've sprained a lot of things because of sports and being a total tomboy, but fortunately never broke anything *knocking on wood* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81257 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 01:02:00 +0000 MaisyMay 81257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I was always proud of the fact that I'd never broken a bone, until my foot started being crazy. Hubs has to drive me absolutely everywhere, and because I walk a lot at work, by the time my 4 weeks are up, I'll have had the cast replaced twice. I've worn the padding out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81254 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:59:44 +0000 tequiero21 81254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nothing! i'm too scared to break or fracture anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-had-cast#post-81251 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:58:41 +0000 MaisyMay 81251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I have a cast on my right foot (no driving allowed!) due to an old stress fracture that didn't heal all of the way. This foot is the only thing I've ever had cast.<br /> What have you had casted? </p>
