Had ankle ligament tear. Was casted for 2 weeks then the orthopaedic said to wear ankle grip for the next 4 weeks. After the cast removal its been 3 weeks and i still have a bit of swelling. Is it normal? And what should be done? And also how much time will it take to get back to normal?

You will need to consult a qualified physiotherapist to rehabilitate you ankle. It is perfectly normal to have some swelling post cast.
