a painful calf. inside a cast. is not normal so please call your orthopedist today so this can be checked. the cast may need to be removed and replaced. in the meantime get that leg elevated and put some ice in a bag. over the cast. to reduce any possible swelling that may be causing the discomfort. since your leg cannot easily expand in a cast when you are hanging it down or standing upright it can quickly swell.
a cast for my fractured ankle is extremely painful on my calf. is that normal?
