Cristina C asked:

hey guys.. my foot has been hurting for a while and i didnt know why so i went to the doctor and she said i had a “Stress Fracture” on one of my bones.. [in the middle of the foot] so she put me in a cast for 4-6 weeks.. and im using a walker to help me keep off the foot and to not put pressure on it. using the walker really hurts my wrists and palms.. any ideas about what i could do? its a pain in the butt to get to the bathroom and back w/o hurtin my wrists! :(… any opinions would be helpful. . and also, do you think the stress fracture will heal within that time? ive never had a fractured bone before. the doctor said if we didnt catch it in time it could have split into 2, and that really scared me. . . what do u think?

…another thing… how do they take the cast off? does it hurt?… is it possible that the blade can go a little too deep… i know the doctors are professionals.. but, idk, im a lil worried :-\..
im getting it off in 5 weeks.. is my foot going to be scaley and peeling? .. how do i wish it? i cant get the cast wet… and, sorry to be gross, but is it going to stink wen the doctor takes it off? :( im veryyyy clean and this grosses me out, to not wash my foot/1/2 leg. . uGhhh
