Suffered lateral malleolus fracture. There was an issue while first time putting the cast as at that time also there was no dorsiflexion. Now its been 2 days since the cast has been removed, there is still no dorsiflexion at all. Its causing a lot of imbalance and there is pain too.
Kindly advice on the next course
