my fucking orthopedist cancelled on me and i just want this smelly nasty thing OFF my arm. is it really such a bad idea to take it off myself? anyone know how to do it safely?
You can soak the cast in vinegar and water for about a half hour, and sometimes that will allow you to peel it apart.
do NOT cut yourself if you try and remove it yourself.
for the last few months, underneath that cast has been a breeding ground for bacteria. if you cut yourself, I would bet really good money on you getting a pretty nasty infection.
oh man when i broke my ankle in 8th grade i had a cast on my leg for about 3 months, when it came off i have never and will never smell something more disgusting. it took about 2 weeks to get the smell out of my skin.

thats why you really don't want to cut yourself while taking a cast off.
