					Swollen ankle after being taken out of cast for jones's fracture of fifth metatarsal
				
				
						
						
				
					
						
							Hi there - hoping you can help me, as I can't seem to see any advice on line.
I came out of a fibre glass cast two weeks ago after 10 weeks in a cast up to my knee for a jones's fracture of my fifth metatarsal. 
Since the cast has been removed my ankle has ballooned up in size and seems to not want to return to its normal size. I have been applying regular hot/cold compresses, have had lymph massage weekly, and keep it elivated as much as I can... difficult for me during the day, due to my job!
Is there anything else I can do - should I be seeking some kind of physio as I was told that I needed to do nothing on being discharged from hospital.
Many thanks in advance!
