I would highly recommend physical therapy after this injury. Any time spent in a cast will have an effect on the joints and tissues of the foot and ankle...they won't move normally. Rehab can help to get that motion back, and often is the key to a full recovery.

Talk to your doctor about PT. They should be able to give you some direction in that area.

Hope this helps - comment back with other questions.
