I just had a bone spur removed and about a week into recovery I fell while using crutches and felt a pop in my ankle joint as I tried to catch my self and regain balanace while using crutches. No weight bearing on the ankle accured but maybe it was because my ankle got flexed out of fear. I’m in a fiberglass cast . And my foot and ankle felt a little swollen after and a little painful but not to bad should I be worried?
