Hi,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You need X-ray leg, to see the plate position and screw position. Take orthopedic's opinion, he can guide you for further management. For pain Paracetamol can be taken and it's safe also.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Take care.
