Further evaluation.: @ 4 months you are still having problems, further evaluation is needed. Another MRI or possible compartment syndrome testing. Get another opinion.

Possible.: It's possible that it's normal, but you should see an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist to assure that there's nothing else going on, and you'd most likely benefit from physical therapy.
