Darker foot after removal of plaster

2018-03-20 16:19:42
I had my 3rd metatarsal fracture on 23rd Jan. Previously it was kept with half plaster for 1 week then full synthetic cast for 6 more weeks. Now plaster has been removed 5 days ago. But my foot is changed to more darker. Skin is getting removed and the dark color has been lighter than previous but still its darker than other foot. Sweling a bit and pain a bit is there while walking . Please let me know whether it is normal . Also whether should I walk now or should take rest
