A member asked:
I have a severe swelling (ankle). i had fallen from bus and my ankle twisted so doc put fibre cast its been a week that the cast is removed.

Need Support.: Swelling can happen after the removal of a cast. You will need to use an ankle wrap for a while. The drainage system needs time to strengthen. Call your doctor to let him know what is going on.
