as it is 6 weeks you should have an xray done for your problem. many times pain takes sometime to subside completely. if u are able to do normal weight bearing then it is not a big problem . it will just be a blunt trauma and resolve soon. take topical gel of diclefenac for pain relief. do hot water fomentation. take care. get well soon
