you do not want to stick things down the cast!! it is not good for the healing bone. I know from experience and my pops is a doctor. Take benydril. that i will relieve some of the itching and use a hair dryer but on the cool setting not the hot. If you use it on the hot it will make your arm sweat more and in turn itch more. I dont know about the baby powder everyone is mentioning. sounds like it would just get all messy to me. And the last thing is try to stay busy at all times. Keeping your mind off the arm and on a game of cards or a movie will take the itching away. Good luck hope the bone heals well.. Ive been there its no fun.

Blunt ended knitting needle works better than coat hanger. Be very careful though cause the skin under is very moist and brittle, bad place to end up with an open wound, infection breeding ground

When I had a cast on my wrist, I used a wire coat hanger to stick down there and itch it. You may also want to try powder like GoldBond.

Put baby powder in a straw and blow it into the cast. Either that or take a coat hanger and jab it in there risking cuts and infections. Or she can just grit her teeth and get over it.

you can take a dowel rod (small stick) and put into the cast and rub back and forth.
avoid putting anything down in it that you may lose part of it in the cast.
my daughter had one on her wrist recently and that works really well.
have her take a Benadry tablet @ night that could help as well.

Alot of times people will use coat hangers. Be careful in doing that though because you could scratch or tear the skin. If you have plastic coat hangers that might be safer.

oh i completely understand. i have had sooo many fractures and breaks. you should take a hair dryer and put it on the cold setting and blow it in there. that works wonders. or baby powder. that helps some. but the blow dryer helps the most!

when my daughter broke her arm, we relieved itching by using a wooden spoon (the handle) just slide it in and itch the area, but be careful you don't want to pull the gauze out with it--
