Yes, it is normal to have pain at fracture site. As I am seeing your fracture is in process of union. Tenderness will be resolved once fracture fully united. It takes 3 months from trauma.
Next Steps
Keep immobile the ankle in cast.
Health Tips
Avoid weight bear till united. And consult your doctor.
