A member asked:
I twisted my ankle one week ago and my joint is not good but after a week since they put my cast i can move my feetandall.what happen if i take it off?

Stop dreaming.: A week may not be nearly enough time. The next logical step would be to use a removable walking boot. The aim is to allow the damaged tissues to repair and scar without further damage, an important key to a more stable ankle.
