hello user , i understand your concern. while the acute pain usually subsides in few days with appropriate treatment , some degree of subacute pain may be present through 8-12 weeks and may be even more , however usually it keeps on decreasing especially with scheduled physiotherpay as suggested by a orthopedician . you ensure adequate rest , taking calcium supplements is good - sometimes it may be a muscular pain also however which can be decreased by applying local analgesic gels/spray . good luck
