Pain in my right ankle, could something be wrong with my tendon or ligaments?!

Pain in my right ankle, could something be wrong with my tendon or ligaments?

I fractured my ankle (fibula) about 9 weeks ago. I was placed in a fiber glass cast for almost 7 weeks (no surgery). It has been 2 weeks since the removal of the cast. I started exercising my ankle, and then walking on it with crutches, and I have just started walking on it with a cane. Sometimes while I'm walking and put too much pressure on my right ankle, or when I haven't walked for a while and just get up to stand, I get this sharp pain on the side of my ankle where it was broken. It isn't a throbbing pain, it doesn't last, it comes and goes. When I touch it, it does not hurt, and I can move my ankle pretty well now without any pain. There is some minor swelling around my entire ankle, which the doctor said would be normal for up to a few months because I was immobilized in a cast for so long. But why the pain? Can someone with any experience help me out. I cant see my ortho. for 2 more weeks and I would like to know if this is something serious...???

This pain can be normal after a fracture as well as a sign for some problem like injury of your ligaments or a remaining dislocation at the site of the fracture, but none of these problems are so serious that you couldn't wait for the meeting with your specialist, only if the pain is so severe that you couldn't stand it. When you see the doctor do not hesitate to say him or her about your complaints.
