Anesthesiologist, Dr. ARCHANA's Response

Hello,

The cast if it is too tight then it can go for necrosis of the underlying tissue. So, it should not be too tight not too loose. It should hurt you all time but not too much pressure to cause you insufferable pain.

So you should decide if your pain is little tolerable then do not go. If it is too much paining, then please go and get it loosened up.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
