Brief Answer:
Add physiotherapy and get a MRI

Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
Normally Hairline Fractures unite well and do not cause pain after 10 months unless there is too much soft tissue injury.
If even after 10 months pain is persisting , I would recommend MRI to see the nature of Ligament and soft tissue injury. Otherwise your treatment is going along on right lines but I would add physiotherapy to your current regimen.
Thanx for the question. Please feel free to ask any other question.
