R/O METATARSALGIA: METATARSALGIA is the pain in the bones on the top of the foot.,the air cast for the ankle sprain may have inflamed them. Flow up with your Doctor to get repeat X-rays and potentially an MRI to better define the anTomy and evLuate for stress fracture. You also should have labs checked TFTS/VitD / B12/Folate. Topical voltaren (diclofenac) gel and tramadol are helpful as well as pt. If symptoms persist ORTHO eval

Slow healing: Ankle sprains can take weeks to heal. It is possible that you are still healing.
