I think i might need a boot or a cast how can i tell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Boot or cast: Boots or casts are usually reserved for fractures, ligament tears, post-op recovery, or really bad strains. If you think you might have a fracture or bad strain, first step is to see your doctor and get an accurate diagnosis. Bets of luck.
