It depends how long you had a cast on.
I had mine on for 8.5 months and i made myself walk for an hour every day with a whole left leg in a cast and still had/have an inch of muscle atrophy in a whole leg.
As soon as i got cast of it felt really light -like my leg is floating and feels ticklish and funny to put it on the ground.
The next day i put on high heel shoes...
You need physical therapy - i dont think its good that you have trouble with it because i doubt you had a cast on longer than i did.
If your x-rays were not done before removing cast maybe you should do them again and make sure its fine - or do nerve damage test - maybe your nerves got damaged.

only wrapping it up won't neccessarily do plenty. It relies upon on what form of harm it extremely is as to if helping that distinctive area will do any sturdy, and likewise relies upon on how most of the leg you wrapped up. And "if not something is incorrect" would not look a controversy right here. If she's 3-legged lame and could not enable you touch it, some thing is incorrect. She needs to be taken to a vet for professional assessment. one hundred fifty$ only to take out stitches is ludicrous. particular there replaced into not something on the time, like drugs or vaccines besides? If not, according to hazard yet another vet may be a extra useful thought... sturdy luck!

Your muscles have not been used there for it is called muscle atrophy which basically occurs after surgery, casting as you have had and those on bed rest and not using their muscles. That is why physical therapy is so important. It will go away but you have to build your strength back up

Is the reason there is rehabilitation therapy for such conditions. It will take time for the muscles to re-adapt to their previous state. They have been inactive for some period and must retrain to there normal function, with time.
