Is it normal to have a swollen foot after getting a cast off?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes....: A cast will limit the amount of swelling to some extent. Once removed, in the beginning you may see an increase in swelling.

Initially Yes: When cast is on there is less room for swelling, when cast is off then it will take advantage of the freedom and swell for period of time.
