I have a spiral fracture in my right fibula, and am scheduled to have the cast removed this Wednesday. Called and left my doctor s office a message today, but no one has returned my call, and now the office is closed. On Friday, I had some swelling, the cast felt tight, and I attributed it to working a full day and not having the leg up at all that day. When I got home and was able to put the leg up again, I experienced painful cramping in the calf muscle. It has hurt since then, constant feeling of cramping and very sore all the time. I need to know if this is something I should be worried about and address immediately, or if I will be ok until I see the doctor on Wednesday morning.
Check your toes for color change or immobility. Flex and extend your ankle if there is severe pain or numbness.??these cases are emergency.otherwise do not worry
