Depends how active you are. Swelling will increase and cause additional pain. Get off your feet and elevate

Your bones should be heeled by now if proper immobilization was utilized. Try contrast bath therapy. Two buckets of water. One hot one cold. 3 minutes in hot 1 minute in ice water Hot Cold Five times each More the better
