Try Physical Therapy: After being cleared by your orthopedic or family medicine provider following cast removal, ask them to send you to physical therapy (PT) which is usually helpful following the removal of cast. Fractures and other injuries typically may need as much of a year to get back to normal, and PT will definitely help you regain the mobility of your toe!
