Search for cast sleeve on Amazon.

Isn’t that cast temporary?
Usually they replace it after a week or so with another where you get a choice of colour

Ah - ok.
Could you make one (or get someone else) from an old long sleeve T shirt or jumper?
Or opaque tights or leggings?

Can't help with covers, put you should definitely be given a lighter cast at your next post-op check. I broke my wrist last year and had a plate put in. The surgical team put one of those heavy and ugly plaster things on - worst things ever. But a week or 2 later, I had it changed to a lovely, lighter lime green one (yes I picked the colour myself 😂). I could have had glitter added too, if I wanted.

Hope you make a speedy recovery OP!
