Varies: There are a number of possibilities, should discuss with treating physician. Most likely causes are 1) pain, stiffness, and atrophy from being in a cast for 7 weeks, 2) that the known component of your injury is not healed, or 3) that there is a part of your injury that has not yet been diagnosed and may need further treatment. Thank you for the question.
