Patience: Bone takes 6 weeks to heal in average healthy adult. Surgery puts bone in proper location, but healing is not any faster. You have just started weight bearing and it will take time to adjust. Fracture and surrounding tissues are still healing and remodeling. Speak with your surgeon about physical therapy and include stretching for heel cord which can improve your heel pain.
