Hi, after 8 years you had second fracture, means it must be due to the injury, also there might be osteoporosis, defeciency of the calcium, or there may be some disease like tuberculosis.
I to my patient with such pains prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, along with antiinflamatories when ever there is pain.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
