The pain and stiffness could be there after it is given OK by your ortho. The role of physiotherapy becomes very important at this stage as you could have tender painful joint.
We can not ignore even a small issue in the foot as it can disturb the body biomechanic which could have lots of future problems

Hi
It depends upon recovery...if getting pain and find stiffness then few sessions with strength training is suggested...otherwise you need to do some movements at home suggested by physio..and that should be sufficient.
