There's no need to be "worried" per se, however it would be best to see your GP/family doctor, just in case anything else is going on with the foot. Since it is 3 weeks since the original injury, and it has not quite "healed" yet, it would be perfectly justified to see a doctor.

However if you had done something to the foot, after you thought the original injury had healed (say, "played football the day before, then your foot swelled up and was painful"), you probably just need to rest the foot for quite a while longer.
