Fractured lateral malleolus

[Rubydog]

Fractured my lateral malleolus beginning of October and the orthopod xrayed and put me in an aircast for 2 months.
Monday I want to the doctor who told me that I could discard the aircast and resume normal activities.
The remainder of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I experienced some pain in the area where the toes and sole meet.
OK. I assumed that this was because of the 2 months in aircast.
However, last night when I took off my shoes I noticed that both the inner and outer ankle were swollen. This morning the swelling has gone down. Still some discomfort when walking.
Is this in the normal (whatever that is) range of the recuperation process or should I contact my doctor again?

About 12 weeks ago I injured my ankle dancing on a ship. The doctor misdiagnosed it as a Grade I sprain. I continued dancing. It became bad enough I had to go home where my GP agreed it was a sprain and sent me into rehab on it.

I decided to go to an ortho and sure enough, stress fracture. Since then I have been in a boot cast (about 6 weeks) and it went from being in pain sometimes when walking, to being in pain constantly.

My other foot is now in pain and has a burning sensation. The doctor now wants to put me in a plaster cast for 4 more weeks.

If I trusted my doctor's opinion (which I listen to but after this long, I'm questioning) a little more I may not ask anything here but...I live in South Africa and the quality of medical treatment and such isn't the greatest.

I guess the questions would be...1> what is up with the "un-hurt" foot? 2> Why would I go from occasional pain to constant pain once in a cast? 3> Any clue how much longer this should be going on?

Sir, I fractured my lateral malleolus day before yesterday, i have been advised to wear a slab for a week which will be replaced by a fiber plaster.
My bone is barely out of place with a crack, tip still in contact with bone.
When will i be able to put weight on this and when it will heal?
My entire ankle pains when i touch it, is it normal given the fact a broke it day before?
