5. Ah....the cast...
Well, darn!

I thought it was someplace else...

I'm sorry it's making you crazy, sweetie...

It'll come off when it's time, you know...

Can you rig a thing to reach under the cast?

:hug:

7. Coat hanger? Yikes!
Is there a hobby store around you? I'm thinking you might be able to find a thin, but sturdy, piece of wood at a place like that, that you could use.

11. I found these tips online...
Remember never to wet your cast.

Raise the leg or arm up for an hour to reduce swelling inside the cast.

Try an oral antihistamine from your Pharmacist.

Don't use anything to reach down into your cast and scratch with that can abrade your skin - these micro-cuts will make the itching worse. This can also push the protective layers under the cast down putting you at risk of being cut when the cast is sawed off.

For plastic casts applying a vibratory massage machine to the area works very well - but this is not to be done with plaster casts.

Blowing cool air from a hair dryer or fan into the cast may help.

If you really can't stand it, go back to your doctor and let them take off and put on a new cast.
