Fracture: I am assuming you have seen someone to know you have a fracture. If you have attempted weight bearing too soon you may experience delayed healing. There is no hard and fast rule with fractures - there are only guides. See your treating physician for assistance.

Unusual: Should be improving by now. Recommend seeing an orthopedist or podiatrist, as may require a surgical procedure or specialized spilnting.
