don't worry about the swelling,get a repeat x-ray done to confirm the healing of the fracture.
if the fracture is healed icing and compression bandaging will help on reducing swelling.
check your muscle strength,you need to do exercises like cycling,running(if possible on treadmill)
hope you find this useful,in case you want any further help feel free to contact me
