Is this pre treatment x ray or recent one?Its quite natural to get occasional swelling in fracture site but it should not persist.If pain is present better to check it with recent x ray and see for any associated issues.
Next Steps
Better to consult with a musculoskeletal physiotherapist for post fracture rehabilitation protocols
Health Tips
Try for ice pack application/crepe bandage application.
