Broken ankle question: Should I be worried?!
Question: Kay so, I had a fiberglass cast for 5 weeks. I went to the doctor about 5 days ago, and he gave me a walking boot, but said I still had to use crutches.. so I am. Occassionally I take it off during class when I'm just sitting there and such. Now it's hurting though, especially my leg.. should I be worried or is it normal to feel pain like this?

Growing pains occur while bones are growing. I suppose it stands to reason that the pain you are feeling is your body healing your ankle bone. I'm sure after 5 weeks your sick of taking it e-z but..................
If it persists and or gets worse call your doctor.
It depends you shouldn't put to much strain on it, and rest once and a while.
