I wouldn't recommend taking boot off if it's still hurting keep boot on, if it's hurting it means it's not healed properly I was same with mine

the doc did not give me a boot after i discharged. maybe because it only closed fracture and after putting plates and screws it will be okay. but yesterday just suddenly put pressure on it..pain at first but slowly it went back to normal..not pain anymore.

Definitely going to have an x-ray and don't let it go if you know something's wrong if it's hurting you're the only one that knows how it feels
