See your doctor : Based on your question, you should go back to see your doctor to be sure the fracture healed properly. Also it’s important to note if you followed the recommended healing time or if you returned to activity more quickly than recommended. Practically speaking, there’s more tissue than just bone that gets disrupted with a fracture; physical therapy can aid in recovery
