Injury while in cast: Although a cast is meant to protect your foot and ankle, you can still injury yourself while in one. You should see your physician right away.

Possible: Depends on how severely to stressed ankle while tripping. Obviously, the cast is helpful in providing stability and protecting area. Has any pain ensued after this? If any doubt about anything, consult with your doctor.
