How to deal with extreme pain in my medical boot

Surgery for broken ankle was 1/28/19. Now 6 weeks later and in a boot for 3 weeks the pain is not getting better. I can't put my foot flat enough to sit right in the boot so my ankle area is sitting at the smallest part of the boot. After 15 minutes the pain is so bad I am forced to take the boot off. My doctor is dismissive and says O that is normal.  After me telling her this she wants me to start light weight on the boot now. I can't even deal with the pain just sitting in the boot how to I start light walking in it?
