And still having pain where fracture is and back of my heel. Also have some swelling where fracture is/was. It hurts to walk after sitting for a while or if I use it a lot. I was in an aircast for 10 weeks. I went and got all my x-rays today. The following are the reports written on my last 3 visits. All my Dr told me is it all looks good. I am wondering if I should get another opinion?
I am female 48 years old.

FINDINGS:
BONES: There is similar appearance of oblique nondisplaced fracture of the distal fibula. Mild callus
formation seen at the fracture margins. Ankle mortise is intact. Tibiotalar crows space is
slightly narrowed laterally..
SOFT TISSUES: Soft tissue swelling laterally has decreased.
OTHER: None.
CONCLUSION:
Healing nondisplaced fracture of the distal fibula with decreased soft tissue swelling.
