Cannot say in your particular case but fractures can heal wrong and disrupt normal functioning. Haven't had all that much problems in long bones that stay straight even with fractures.
Then, pain can be from various causes. going outward from an injury may imply a (very small) nerve is irritated. This could be permanent. On the other hand low doses of cheap nerve dampers like anti-epileptics or even topical lidocaine are very very effective.
