I’m in a cast, too. One thing not to do…and after 6 on the same side, I should know better. That itch that needs scratching, ignore it like &*(^@! I spent 45 mins retrieving a dumb object that I used to scratch the itch.
DS, I still move around, just no pressure on that leg. I’m pretty fast on crutches. :) Write, journal, learn how to knit or something.
When it’s really hurting, prop it up, using pillows from under your thigh on done. keep the pressure even under your leg!
Did they give you something for pain or recommend something? Try to “stay ahead” of the pain. The first couple of days are the worst, pain wise…at least for me. I’ve learned the importance of taking the medication, as directed and on schedule really helps.
