A member asked:

I just had my cast taken off my broken ankle, and i'm supposed to walk on it but it feels very weird when i try?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It will come back: Just few steps at time with comfort, the reason for the weird feeling is the muscles are weak but will be okay. Good luck.

Not unusual: It is not unusual to have a strange feeling when beginning to walk after having a cast removed. But if you have concerns, talk to you treating physician.
