A member asked:

Had a recent ankle fracture and there is swelling post cast removal. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Goes down with time: Ankle fracytures that are treated non operatively in a cast may have swelling following cast removal with activity for some time. It takes on average a total of 9 months for swelling and pain to either go away or if some swelling remains after 9 months it may persist. Therapy and activity will help reduce swelling with time. Check with your physician.
