The x-rays are barely visible to diagnose fracture .However there looks like a lateral malleolus fracture if your doctor has told so .you must have to wear plaster for atleast 4 weeks . Keep your foot elevated over 2 pillows. Walk with weight bearing as able. These fractures take some time to heal. Have patience. Change the plaster if very painful
