Ask your doctor : 10 weeks may be enough time for a fracture to heal. Pain is a symptom not to ignore. The fracture may not be healed which causes pain in a non-union. X-rays can help determine why you still have pain. Speak with your orthopedic surgeon sooner than later.

Ask the surgeon!: The doctor that did your surgery knows the most about your type of fracture and the repair. Thati is the person to talk to about your concerns. A phone call to that doc should get you the VERY BEST answer to your question.
