Sorry to hear: It may take up to a year for it to heal completely and pain is relative but definitely let your surgeon know it's painful. They may need to get new imaging, check for infection, etc to make sure you have the best chance for healing. Best of luck.

See the doctor: This deserves another look and at least an x-ray to look at the healing process.
