hi
You may visit your surgeon and x ray be done for exact position of bone union and plate.when there is infection. then too local marrow infection pressure builds up giving pain and swelling of operated site.This shoul also be ruled out.
If your GP has given a soft cast it is okay to support it.Take aleve or motrin till you get appointment with your surgeon
best wishes,
