Fibula fracture
I had fractured my fibula and went for a cast though the doctor has suggested a surgery. Now the bone has heard fine and I have removed the cast.. however I have developed discomfort in my ankle and swelling around it even after 2 weeks of cast removal. Cast was on for 5 weeks. How long would it take for my leg to be normal as I still have a limp due to ankle pain. Pls advise
