Spica Cast follow up
It was a happy day yesterday we finally got the spica cast off after 10 weeks. The femur is 90% healed. However, this being said. S. is not favouring that leg. He is holding it a weird angle and seems to be in pain and has some muscle spasms. A call has been put into the physiotherapist and their pediatrician. I am hoping that it is not his hip and if it is muscle spasms that it can be fixed with Botox.

I noticed over the last few days that S.'s leg was swelling and warm to the touch. I thought he would have to be re casted. However, following up with our dr. I learned that this is a normal part of healing. Especially when someone has been casted for so long. The advice given is give an anti-inflammatory drug for pain and swelling. Ice it as required and elevate the foot to help reduce the swelling. I hope this helps anyone else dealing with the issue. Thanks.
