should I be worried about my foot sweating in my ankle cast?
490307
I'm not a doctor or anything, but I have through suffered dozens of casts from repeling, skating and biking so here is the scoop: \nFirst: consider the situation (is there cuts, scrapes or stictches under the cast? If so, then yes, you need to call the doctor and possibly get your cast changed. You don't want infection to set in.\nSecond: If it's lots and lots of sweat you might want to see about asking for the cam-walker style removable velcro brace. It's also hot, but you can briefly, carefully remove it to clean and dry your foot when you really need to.\nThird: hard bandage style casts are actually begining to fade from use in general in favor of the velcro brace style stuff anyway.\nIn the meantime, don't worry about it, remember.. sweat is 99 percent water... it can't do anything to your skin that will hurt it. Very sorry to hear your got hurt. Get all better fast!\nC-

Why would you seek answers from here?  This is definitely a condition requiring immediate medical attention.  Infections can lead to multi-system infections.  If it is severe and left untreated, it could lead to the loss of your foot, infection in your blood stream, need I go on?  If insurance or finances are an issue, go to the ER of your local hospital, they can direct you to services for medical assistance to pay the bill.  \nThe longer you wait, the more serious this issue will become for you.  It isn't going to go away on its own.

well, you might get an infected foot, you might have a scared-for-life tissue and you also might have certain damages caused where your imune system isn't quite as affective

Rest with the foot elevated (above heart level)and apply ice for a minimum of 20 minutes on, 30 minutes off. Anything less than 20 minutes is not going to help. Also, do not apply heat. That's like throwing fuel onto the fire. You can also take an anti-inflammatory such as Tylenol or Advil.\n\nJust be careful and take pre-cautions with the ankle such as taping it for awhile. I lost a college scholarship when I sprained my ankle one too many times and ended up having to have the tendons and ligaments surgically repaired.

It sounds like athletes feet. But no matter what it is go buy a gallon jug of Apple Cider Vinegar it's about $3.00 pour it all in a tub soak your feet for as long as you can sit there everyday till it goes away a day or two should do it . Vinegar cures a lot of things. Don't add water pure vinegar. NO ONE else answered your ? I was only trying to help I did say no matter what you have the vinegar will cure it.ASK YOUR DOCTOR

Been there and done that.  I sympathize with you.\n\nFor a temporary fix, you need to get sport tape and tape up your arches.  You must hold your foot so that it is in a normal standing position while you're taping.  Do not let your feet into a relaxed position while taping, or you won't be able to stand up when you're done.  Start taping on the top of your foot behind but near the widest part of your foot, right behind the toes.  Continue taping, slightly diagonally as far back as is practical.  The downside of this is that you've got to peel that tape back off at the end of the day.  And that is NOT fun--talk about a STRANGE feeling as you pull it off the bottom of the foot.  But at least this should get you through temporarily.\n\nFor a permanent solution, you will need to see a podiatrist and obtain orthotics for your shoes.  These are tailor-made inserts, molded exactly to fit your foot.  They are rather expensive (mine were about $350 about seven years ago), but many health insurance policies cover them.  Even if they don't, believe me they are worth the cost.\n\nIf you have plantar faciitis in both feet, expect it to take at least a year of wearing the orthotics to completely heal.  (You'll see marked improvement much sooner than that, though.)\n\nOne major no-no for those who have plantar faciitis--NEVER go barefoot or wear shoes without good arch support.  That lets the arch drop again.

It could either be a condition called meralgia paresthetica, which I didn't think would move down to the foot, or a lumbar disk prolapse which could indeed cause the symptoms in the foot. Go see an orthopedic doctor.

I went to an excellent podiatrist who gave me small amounts of cortisone in the heel of my foot. I then kept wearing orthotics and use them religiously. I do not wear high heels or go on beach sand. If I follow the rules the awful burn, shooting pain and the feeling of walking on hot coals will be completely gone. Plantar Fascitis is the stretching of the tendon from the heel to the ball of the foot (Arch of the foot). The spur comes from the tendon pulling at the heel. That is why you can't stretch your foot. If you need more info, please feel free to e-mail me. I was so frightened when I had this condition and tried orthopedic surgeons and cortisone specialists, but, this one podiatrist cured my problem without surgery.   Di  P.S. I just read what the person before me put and although the Dr. said the shot would be hot it was NOTHING compared to the foot burn especially first thing in the morning.

If you haven't changed your shoes anytime recently (which might account for this discomfort) it's possible you're having an allergic reaction.  Since it seems to be localized to your instep, it's possible you've been bitten or stung by something.  Monitor the swelling, make sure it doesn't spread.  If it does, take an antihistamine (benadryl).\n\nChances are this is a bite of some kind if you haven't experienced an injury in this area.  Keep an eye on it and see the doctor, he/she may be able to give you something for it.

If infection sets in then yes of course\n\ndiabetics need to particularly careful with their feet\n\nand should see a speacialist every 6 months for check- ups and immediately if they have a serious injury.\n\nyou had better 'hop' to it!!!

Sometime my feet just get cold. Not a prob for us. Could be a control issue. Tell him that if you have to take your socks off, or if he makes an issue out of it you are not going to do it. Bet his tune changes real fast.

Does it hurt to walk on?  Does just the area hurt (one spot vs. your whole foot) Does it not hurt at all?  It could just be water retention but i doubt that would just be in one foot.  If it doesnt hurt just watch it for a few days.  If it does hurt id suggest heading to a dr. to see what is wrong.  If you dont remember spraining it that is.

the reason for this is because with diabetes, people tend to develop what is called neuropathy - this is damage to the nerves that makes it hard to feel if you are doing damage to your feet from the spa being too hot ..... once the damage is done, diabetics do not heal as easily and even a small sore or damage to tissue in any way, can lead to infection and amputation

Sounds like poor circulation.  You might want to ask your doctor.  I think poor circulation in your feet can be a sign a diabetes.
