It's natural to feel stiff and cramping in a cast. You could ask your doctor if there are some simple movements you can make with your muscles to loosen them up. if the doctor has given You muscle relaxants that will help this feeling. 500mg of calcium and magnesium taken twice daily on an empty stomach with a large glass of water will help relax the muscles.
