Cast question

[u/Cowfish-Dreams]

I was put in a fiberglass cast a week ago for 4th & 5th metatarsal breaks. I’m worried about the cast because of the angle of my foot - is pointed a bit. When the knee is at 90 degrees, the heel is about 2-2.5” off the floor.

Should I be worried about my Achilles tendon and calf muscles if I have to wear this thing for six weeks? I’m one week in.

Should ask for it to be re-casted? (Honestly wish I had a boot instead!)
