I have to start working and dont need the cast on anymore. I had it on when I got out of the military but cant go back to them and have them take it off. So how do I get this piece of sh*t off?

really you shouldn't-you should go to the nearest Ortho Doc have them remove it they re xray to make sure all is well.....but I took mine off my arm because I was getting a huge rash and no Docs were calling me back....I used hedge cutters--not really safe--do you have one of those dremmel things ???

U shouldn't. Go to the dr and let him check it. They use a special saw to take it off. One that only cuts the cast and not the skin.

You Don't take a cast off yourself. I agree 100% with DA Bomb.

first go to a doctor and tell them the situation. they'll probably make sure you really don't need it on any more, but it's probably the easiest, safest, fastest,and smartest way to get it off.

Go to a local clinic, ask the doctor to take an XRay & see if it is healed enough to take it off. If it is, he will do it for you.

It's best to go to hospital for that...you're fracture may not be completely healed...and it might be to soon to take it off...
Plus, you don't want to hack it yourself and end up getting injured more...

I recomend a chain saw, if not, soak it in water until it falls apart.

It's really not a good idea. You could end up doing even more damage, and having to keep it on longer. Please go to your Doctor, or local hospital. Good Luck!!!
