A member asked:

Ive taken my cast off about 2 months ago i had a fractured ankle is it normal that its a bit swollen ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: it is likely to be swollen for months, you can try an ace wrap for compression but it doesn't give any support. Some range of motion exercises is a very good idea

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
