Share your X-rays. Fracture healing takes upto six weeks. Plaster treatment depends on location of fracture and nature of fracture. It is common to have some pain after plaster is removed for some time

Initially apply ICE PACK for 10 minutes three times daily.
When you on bed in supine place your limb above heart level with the help of pillows.
Reduce walking , and during walk give less pressure i.e. partial weight bearing.
Take foot support when you sit on chair.
