Yes: It takes about 6 weeks to heel this fracture assuming everything okay. Good luck.

Possibly: Most patient will transition from a cast to a fracture boot before transitioning to regular shoes. If you are still having pain you definitely need continued follow-up with serial imaging studies to confirm healing of the fracture.
