Have it Checked.: You are starting to get into the time frame of having an amount of acceptable concern. The swelling and pain, at the end of the day, may be signifying some instability of the fracture site. To remove all doubt, consult with your surgeon. He might even suggest that you have a second opinion for good measure. Sound reasonable? Now GaDay ta ya.
