My understanding is that the plaster's just there to stop the injection site bleeding while you're on your way home, so if You reckon it should have healed up by now, you could take it off. I think I took mine off within a day or two when I had my hip injected. While they say "rest for a day or two", the steroid will still be working on the inflammation in your ankle, so don't overdo it for a while. My hip was fairly grumpy about it and it was a week or so before I was up to my usual shenanigans.
