Hi you had an ankle fracture injury and have been operated for the same and are in cast at present.For better rehabilitation 1. Keep the limb on pillow esp at night 2. Keep moving the toes ( to prevent swelling) At Present. After your cast is off the key is maximum mobilization ( Exercises) and hot fomentation . The more you exercise , better it is. Apart from exercises start weight bearing gradually as per your orthopedic surgeon's advice.
