I broke my leg about a week ago. For the first 2 days they put me in a fiberglass splint, now I'm in a boot. (has all kinds of straps n stuff)
After taking it off today I noticed it was soaking wet on the foam part under the liner. I'm not sure if it's sweat or what.. I sponged most of it out with tissues. I don't know what the water is or how to prevent it.
Wow, that seems strange. If it happens again I would call my doctors office for guidance. I was in a boot (toes to knee) 24 hours a day for 4 weeks. I took it off to shower but couldn't put weight on that side. The hardest thing was dealing with keeping my sheets clean by putting a pillow case over the boot. Good luck with your recovery. Oh, I also remember having a lot of night pain at first because I pulled all those straps too tight.
WHAT?!? Post a photo. I had to wear a cam walking boot for 8 months through rain and snow, it never got soaked. Did you shower with it on? Take a dip in the pool? Pull the pieces apart and let everything dry. Call your doctor's office Monday. Speak to the nurse if the doctor isn't available. C R A Z Y. Good luck with your recovery. Take care!
Yeah it’s sweat I had the same problem, just make sure you wipe it clean everytime you take it off for the night or it’ll get smelly. I also washed the liner part of mine once a week.
I had to wear a tubigrip on my leg to stop it swelling. Think this helped wick away that sweat too
