Yes I think this sounds about what you should expect. I am a little surprised they put you in a cast rather than a brace. I am guessing your fracture was non displaced and not requiring surgery. By the sounds of it, though it is close to being displaced which is why your surgeon is asking you to rest for 2 weeks. As difficult as it is, you should do everything you can to rest this knee so that you don't need the surgery. Some swelling is normal. The nice thing about having a brace is that you can ice. Just keep it elevated as best you can.I've been through this twice now...in a brace from my second surgery now. It will get better. Pam
