I told him about the fall and he didn't seem to worried. I must admit that the fall hurt more than the original injury but went away pretty quick. I've got one more week in the boot and then hopefully I can walk around again. By the looks of it its just a waiting game, I wish I found this site earlier but hey good to see that we're all in the same boat. Heres to sitting down and doing nothing for a while, but can't wait to be able to have this thing off my foot!!! Ash Mate shouldn’t worry about the twitches

Hang in there sunshine. Jon Hi Daryl,

Twitches are common, but do not appear harmful. So, I would not worry about that. I felt incision pain too, and was so concerned that I had the cast removed halfway into the 3.5 week casting period. The incision was just fine, but the cast rubbed my skin and hurt. The doctor provided more padding and recasted me. August 20th will be here soon - keep on being a patient patient....it is the best you can do for healing. Good luck. I would be amazed if one of your leg twitches causes a rerupture.
