A member asked:
I have removed my broken ankle plaster and i have started to walk with crutches and my ankle is paining. is it still broken?

YOU removed cast?: Call your doctor. Your foot was casted for a reason in order to immobilize and protect it. If the plaster cast broke, it may have been from too much pressure. Don't walk on it and use your crutches to stay non-weightbearing until you can get it assessed.
