Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You had cast put for fracture of polio effected led 5 weeks back.
The cast is to be continued for 8 weeks ,so you should continue it for 3 weeks more. The main intention of putting the cast is the immobilization, so it is to be maintained strictly.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
