6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with a calcaneal stress fracture. I had the hard cast taken off of my leg 2 weeks ago and was able to start putting weight on it 3 days ago. I am having alot more trouble than I though I would and now am having pain near the area of the fracture. I don't have another doctors appointment for 2 weeks and I have to go back to work next week. I have been 6 weeks on crutches (non-weightbearing) and my doctor is pretty sure it has healed enough to walk on, but the pain is making me a little nervous. Is it normal to have pain like this? When does it usually ease up? Should I be doing anything to help it?
How much pain is normal while walking after having a leg cast removed?
