A member asked:
I seem to be fighting my cast and trying to straighten my arm in my sleep. will this damage my surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prob not: They only do much room to wiggle in that hard cast so don't think you do much damage in your sleep.However, i'd you are that uncomfortable about the cast mold then see your orthopod for repositioning our casting.
