Your time in a cast will be different depending on the type you’re wearing. For example, if you’re wearing a plaster cast, you’ll likely spend most of your time lying down. This is because plaster doesn’t allow your body to move or stretch, which can help your injury heal faster.
While in a cast, you may feel cumbersome and restrictive at first. However, your body will eventually get used to it and you'll start to feel more comfortable. If you have any questions about how your injury is healing or feel like you need more support, don't hesitate to ask your doctor or nurse.
