I broke the 5th metatarsal bone in my foot on Sunday and have a fibreglass cast up to my knee. My toes are poking out of this and are painful and expanded and the bottom of my foot is also swollen. Is this normal or should I go backwards to the Doctor? It meet became expanded today, has been fine before that. My leg is also a bit tingly sometimes, same pins and needles. Thanks

If blood circulation to the foot is cut off it is probable that tissue module die, gangrene could develop, and result in amputation of the foot or even leg.
