Hello greetings from Kolkata. As per your query you have been on cast since last 3 weeks for your injury which is 4 weeks old. It's not at all advisable to keep your leg hanging for such long period after a fracture even if you are on cast. You need to elevate your leg over a chair and over pillows while sleeping as well. Generally the cast would be taken off around 4-5 weeks. So maintain the restrictions till then. Can take tab chymoral forte thrice daily for 5days for swelling.

It would have been helpful if you could send me the xray picture.
