Answer 1

Yeah thats normal you imbecile!

You think your bones are jus gonna be fine  and normal after not moving for three weeks?

Answer 2

After your cast or splint is removed, you'll probably need to loosen up stiff muscles and ligaments in your ankles and feet. A home exercise program of stretching, strengthening and range of motion exercises can help you ease back into your regular routine. Your doctor can suggest the best exercises for your particular injury or refer you to a therapist who can help.

Answer 3

After working out your leg a bit it will be the same as the other leg

Answer 4

It's stiff because your muscles hasn't been contracted in a while. It takes a while to get used to. You should have left longer just in case.
