Unusual for small crack in small finger to do a plaster . unless it's a big displaced fracture. Show your xray to another orthopedic surgeon and get a 2nd opinion.

Hi
The minimum duration for plastering a hair line fracture is 3 weeks and maximum for any fracture is 6 weeks.
If there is any discomfort and since three weeks are over, u can take your mom to doctor again n he can replace the hard plaster with a softer one or may be crepe bandage.
As far as pain is concerned, one has to bear it till plaster is removed. Pain also comes up coz of swelling.
Ask ur mom not to hang her feet n keep it in elevated/ supported position always.
All d best!
