Hello Doctor, I am about 22 years. On December 5th I met with an accident and had a left ankle fracture. On doctor consultant I was under cast for 6 weeks and the cast as been removed. Its been 5 days but still I feel the pain like hell while walking. If the bone has healed completely why would I feel the pain?

This pain that you have now is the post imobilisation pain. The joint now will be stiff and muscles around must have become weak. Pls visit a physiotherapist at the earliest who can movilise the joint to increase the range and decrease the pain. Also to start good strengthening exs.
