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.
What have you had casted?

@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!

@MaisyMay: Holy crap!! Twice in 4 weeks?! Craziness!!
I've sprained a lot of things because of sports and being a total tomboy, but fortunately never broke anything *knocking on wood*

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!

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.

Twice (so far hehehe). I am a klutz and have broken both my foot and my thumb over the years.
I also broke my baby toe last year but I didn't count that since they didn't cast it

@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.

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.

I just had my right foot cast over the holidays! It was for a bad sprain though.
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.

I broke my right arm/elbow TWICE when I was younger so it's been cast two times.
I've sprained my right ankle repeatedly since the age of 14, after a trampoline accident that never quite healed right. So, I'm usually in an air cast once every year or two for that with crutches.
