You need to go to A&E. Also, if you've got a cast on you have it on for a reason, taking it off can cause serious damage so it may actually mean that at the end of the day you need it on for longer because you've done more damage or even worse need surgery on it. There's also an increased risk of problems with that area now in the future and if it's on a joint, then definitely arthritis and taking the cast of would've increased those. If you've got a cast on you need it and 3 weeks is definitely not enough so you need a cast put back on it and it possibly being re-xrayed etc ASAP. I'd STRONGLY encourage you to tell them the truth about how you've been taking it off and how often/ what you've been doing with it off etc as that could all affect the outcome. Really I'd recommend you going to get it looked at tonight.
If it wasn't broken then you'd have a cast on because of damage to the ligaments and serious damage to them and so it is important that it stays on.
