Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having fracture of medial malleolus. It can be confirmed by x ray. You said that it has already passed 6 months. Now if fresh x ray is showing fracture line intact then it means it is nonunion.Treatment of it can be operative. Analgesic such as ibuprofen can be taken for pain relief. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
