The inflammation is still there in the ankle otherwise you will not feel burning sensation in the heel. You can keep the ankle still on plaster until 16 weeks from the day of fracture which will help you to feel better in the day today life. Check with the orthopaedician so that the ankle fracture sites should be checked before the next cast is put on the ankle sites.
