My daughter just had her castings redone on her feet and everytime she moves she cries, i am guessing because of the tendons and everything being stretched when she trys to move is this normal? I was to out of it in the hospital to remember if she was this upset after she had them put on for the first time. Darren (my bf) told me she was very fussy, i remember her being very fussy but i dont remember her being this upset. Is there anything i can do or just comfort her?

they may have done the cast too tight. My son had that done in the past, and he cried a little when they cast him, but not after he had it on. he didn't like it  until he got use to it, check her toes if they feel cold or are purple you should really take her in to get it off, I'd be safe and call them any how and tell them whats going on!

When my son got his casting done, the plaster at the top of the cast was sharp and pushing into his skin, so what we did was get some gauze and wrap it around his leg and tuck it in the cast, then we folded the top down over the cast and taped it. It seemed to help him and he wasn't as fussy.

Hope this helps :)
