Hello,
You need to visit your treating surgeon again as this has to be evaluated again to see if the fracture is healed or not. It usually takes 4-6 weeks to heal a fractured bone, if not this has to be dealt with surgery. For pain management, you can take OTC analgesics round the clock. If you are not getting any relief, visit your doctor asap for pain control and follow-up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
