Give it a little more time. My bone graft took about 5 months to heal.These aren't easy to heal fractures & even after the "healing" it doesn't mean you are in the clear.-It is almost 2 yrs. since my injury and I still am @ PT &having problems.- You are younger however,so hopefully you have better luck.-also take calcium,vit.D3,& vit C these will help.Good luck to you!
