The leg cast should NOT be so tight that it causes the toes to swell, turn cold or blue, or cut into the skin at the toe or leg open end. If you have any symptoms in your toes, elevate the foot and leg and call your doctor for further instruction, or if after hours, visit the ER.
Otherwise, the cast should fit snugly, should not move or twist around on the leg, and you shouldn't be able to fit any more than 1 finger (or less) between the end and your skin.
You should go immediately to the hospital to get a cast.
A leg cast in England is commonly known as a 'leg cast' or simply a 'cast' or 'plaster cast'.

With a lower leg splint, it should extend from below the knee to the base of the foot. The splint helps immobilize and support the lower leg to prevent further injury or strain. Make sure it is applied snugly but not too tight to maintain proper circulation.

It is indeed normal to have swelling and pain in foot after a leg cast is taken off. There is a change in pressure.
You have not ised the muscles while your leg was in the cast, so naturally it shrinks. Its called atrophy, but it should come back after a few weeks.
No. Go to a doctor. If there is a problem with it, still, see a doctor.
Breaking your leg isn't fun. Don't try it. Trust me. If you do, you should keep it elevated to prevent swelling. Take it easy for awhile. As for the crutches, you'll get the hang of them.
if it is on your arm then circulation i your arm is being cut off or if it is on your leg then the circulation in your foot is being cut off. If the hand or leg is unexposed then if you loose feeling in the body part or if some fingers/toes are visible then they turn purple
