Ankle orif 4 weeks ago doc said healing well. just slipped + put some weight on cast no pain no swelling. could i have re broke bone or made it worse?

Should be OK, But...: After four weeks of healing, I think you are probably fine. But....Make sure you call your surgeon and tell him of the incident. There may be some specific questions he could have relating to the status of the foot. always keep the surgeon involved.
