Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Yes you are being treated properly and you do not need to be in any doubt. To rule out any fracture, you can get a xray done. But from the picture it looks like the wound is getting stretched and which is causing pain.
For faster healing and pain management, you can take a tab. Rutoheal -D twice a day after food.
Deink lots of water.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.

Hi there...I can understand your concern. You can trust the doctor you have visited previously. They are treating you correctly only. The wound will be painful for a few days, till the inflammation all comes down. If there was a fracture there would have been altered movements. If you are still apprehensive about a fracture, then get a x ray done and consult a orthopedic.
