Will A Cast Assist In Healing Dancers Break?
Hello I have a broken foot its called a dancers break an is not dislocated, the er gave me pain med an a hard sole shoe, our hospital is very small they never offered to cast, ill admit its better to be able to take a bath without a cast an keep ice in it but I absoutely cannot put any weight on the foot base I can on the heel tho. The nearest other hospital is 50 miles, im trying to decide do I go there an go thru all the er stuff I did this morning or just see my local doctor monday here. Will a cast assist in the healing and manuvering around?
