Pain in foot after 4 months of fracture
I met with an accident on December 21 and had a cast put on for 6 weeks. However, there is still some pain after 4 months of the accident also. There's a very obvious limp in my walk and it's not comfortable. Please suggest some remedies.

Hope you took physiotherapy treatment after the cast was removed which would have involved muscle strengthening, stretching(if it was required) and proper training in walking as you were before the injury. You should see a PT and meanwhile do some hot water fomentation.
