Brief Answer:
Cast should be removed
Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using 'Ask a Doctor'. Yes, if you are having pain from the cast and feel like it is too tight, you should go to the ER to see about it being removed. If it is too tight, it can cause skin breakdown, nerve compression, and other complications.
I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
