Re: immobilizing the foot

Make it easy on yourself and insist on a removable cast. I learned the hard way: had a fiberglass walking cast. AFter one week, had so much more pain, I had to go on crutches. Even with being non-weight bearing, my heel still hurt. When the cast was removed, my sore spots were exactly where they had been (before ever setting foot on floor), but they hurt worse and my ankle was stiff. In my experience, this was one of the more useless treatments I've endured, but everyone is different and maybe it will work for you...hope so.
