Is it normal for a broken foot to suddenly swell up again after a few weeks?

Posted , 1 user is following.

I broke my foot just under five weeks ago, and the swelling had mostly gone down in the last two weeks or so (although it felt a little puffy at night), but today it's suddenly swollen back up again and I don't know why! Could I have somehow manage to re-injure it or is this normal with a foot fracture?
