Hi , Dr Gopal Goel ,Orthopedic Surgeon .
Fractures of tibia and fibula take minimum 3 months to heal in normal circumstances. If fracture is associated with a wound or you have other diseases or if the fracture has multiple pieces then time taken for healing may be much more.
I suggest you discuss the problem of pain with your surgeon.
