See your doctor: If you feel like your cast is loose and/or there is more or increasing pain, you should check in with your doctor.

Recast..: Call the surgeon and explain the problem. It sounds like the cast is loose because the foot has shrunk. You also need to have the crutches sized to you and given some crutch training. The training is usually provided by the office staff or hard ware distributor.
