Has anyone experienced the cast starting to smell funny or is it just me? I haven't gotten it wet maybe I'm just crazy but it is so dry and doesn't smell fresh to me. Is that normal?

I'm sure it's normal. I didn't have that problem but my doctor changed my cast after 2 weeks because he said that if he didn't he'd get complaints from patients about the smell. If it really bothers you, see about getting a new cast. Don't give in to the temptation to use powder to make it smell better.
Good luck!

I started to call today I'll call tomorrow he might make me sit in it since it comes off on the 30th anyways maybe he'll just take it off! I'll let them know I can't stand the smell though!
