Swelling inside cast

Posted , 7 users are following.

4 weeks post fusion op. New cast two weeks ago.

Last night my ankle felt as though it was swelling inside the cast and this morning feels very tight in it. No pain just squashed and v uncomfortable. First time its felt like this. {except for a few minutes when i first got up in the morning in the past).

Is this worrying or expected?

Thanks

    I meant to say, ice packs under you cast work too. The cool eventually gets through.
