Tripped on the drive last week and went over on my foot. Have broken the metatarsal in my little toe. Foot is in plaster & I'm on crutches. Next appointment is 4 weeks. My toes look very swollen but foot doesn't hurt. I can't drive and hate being dependent on people to help me out. Have ditched the crutches and am seriously considering cutting the cast off myself. Anybody??

As in all medical enquiries on MN, you should ring NHS Direct 
Seriously though, surely they wouldn't have gone to the expence and time of putting a cast on your foot if you didn't need it would they?
It might seem a long time to go until your appointment, but if you fuck your foot up you could have years of hassle from it.
Now put that saw down, now! No, don't cut it off. Nooooo

DP broke his wrist falling off his bike last year.....
It was in a cast and he got so fed up with it he cut it off after about a week.
I told him not to but he did it anyway and no problems..
Maybe he was lucky and it wasn't a bad break in the first place.
I wouldn't do it.
