I'm in a sport where broken bones happen a lot, and no, you don't need to go to a doc for every broken thing. It's a good idea if you can afford it, of course, but most of us can't. I'd say it depends on how much pain, and if its crooked and needs to be set properly. Otherwise, yeah its normal, broken bones take a long time to mend. Expect a month of tenderness, and try not to reinjure.
