What Causes Pain And Discomfort In Tibia After Surgery?

I had a compound fracture on my tibia in 2007 and had a rod and screws inserted. April 2015 I had surgery to remove the rod, due to pain. I was still having pain and discomfort,so doctor sent me for MRI. The MRI shows a non-displaced fracture in tibia He said should heal on its own. Do I need to wear my boot that I had from the original break?
