Amato, Years ago, while on active duty with the Navy, I broke the 5th metetarcel on my left foot. I was in a walking cast for a quite a while. I remember that it took me some time after the cast had come off to even be able to walk normally, which maybe a result of walking with a cast ( it forces you to limp). The human foot is pretty complex and it can take awhile, even after the bone has healed and the cast has come off, for it to recover 100%. depending on how long ago your cast came off, it may be that you are still getting used to walking/running without it, and it may be best to take things slow.
On the subject of Pronation, My feet do exactly what Doc described. I have always had this condition and thought that I just had bad knees. When I got into backpacking, I asked one of the guys that works at my local hiking store, who does alot of backpacking, about a good cushioning insole. After making me take off my shoes and socks and sit and stand, he told me why my knees were hurting and reccomended insoles by a company calles Superfeet. They were a bit pricey, but I went for it. I was absolutely amazed. I wont say that they were miraculous, Im sure there are other insoles out there that do the same thing, but I noticed a dramatic decrease in soreness in my knees within a few days of regular use. Especially after going any distance with weight. I reccomend them to anyone looking for a supportive insole. (the ones I got are really bright green, I guess the models are color coded, I dont really know what differences between them are though.
