A member asked:
My son broke his distal humerus and is in a full arm cast. do we have any options for a water friendly cast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cast: I have not heard of a water friendly cast. Sorry, I would use a plastic bag to cover the cast and secure with a rubber band. Hope this helps.

My son broke his wrist near the radial artery, now it pops when he lifts his arm and has numbness in his thumb. Is this normal? The doctor splinted it until the swelling goes down to have a cast put on.
