I had it in one foot 17 weeks ago and there is still pain when I walk but not in the joint as before, just around the soft tissue - but it needs to learn to move again and believe that it will go away in time.
I didn't have much swelling at all. At just over 2 weeks when the cast came off it didn't look that bad, but I was really really good about keeping it up and elevated 22-23 hrs a day for the first 2 weeks and after quite a lot too...even at night.
I don't have any pain in the joint anymore.
How far along are you? What did your doctor say?

But to answer this question in the absence of the premise is not really fair to the question, there are so many variables.
