Talk to your Surgeon: It is important that you discuss these symptoms and the pain with the orthopedic surgeon who performed the operation. Long term discomfort is typical in Open Reduction and Fixation repairs of broken bones, but your surgeon can offer you options as to how to treat the pain including revision surgery to remove the plates/screws now that your bone has healed or other treatments.
