About three weeks ago I had my foot/ankle fuzed and now have 3 screws and 2 staples. I  am still in a cast and will be until August. I noticed a few days ago that when I lift my leg up it hurts on the top part of foot. Is this normal or should I call my doctor??

I really don't know whether or not the pain on top of your foot is normal or not.  It's always a good idea to call your doctor when any new pain develops that you weren't told to expect.
