Your Journey from Stiffness to Strength
Getting a cast removed is a relief, but recovery doesn’t end there. The area may feel weak, stiff, or dry. Proper care helps you regain full function safely and quickly.
1. Moisturize the Skin
- The skin may be dry or flaky
- Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
- Avoid scrubbing the skin too hard
2. Start Gentle Movements
- Begin with light range-of-motion exercises
- Don’t force any movement that causes pain
- Use warm compresses to relax stiff joints
3. Follow a Rehab Plan
- Physiotherapy is often recommended
- Focus on restoring strength, flexibility, and balance
- Stick to the routine even if progress seems slow
4. Watch for Warning Signs
- Swelling, pain, or redness could signal issues
- Contact your doctor if symptoms worsen
- Avoid activities that strain the limb too early
5. Support Recovery Internally
- Eat foods rich in calcium and protein
- Stay hydrated to aid tissue repair
- Avoid smoking, as it can slow bone healing
