Hello,
I have studied your case. If on increasing weight on traction you are having pain and difficulty then I would recommend you to stop this for some time. This will give some rest to your muscles. After one week you can start traction again with some less weight.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
