Use a stick in opposite hand while walking.
If there is swelling, keep a pillow under the foot at night.
Do exercises for the lower limbs.

Usually 4-6 weeks is the time for plaster casts.
You can remove it, get an x ray done and start protected weight bearing walking with support. Swelling is bound to happen and stay for some time..
