I was just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how long i'm likely to be out for.I Broke my tibia 4 weeks ago and had an overnight full leg plaster on for a week to deal with the swelling.

After that came off i had a new full cast on that comes off next week meaning 5 weeks and the doctor told me i'd have a half cast plaster on my return and i could start bearing weight on my leg.

I was given a sick note for 6 weeks so i told my work i'd only be out for 6 weeks but now i feel if i'm a walking cast i'll be out for even longer and lose my job.

Edit-It was a clean break and no surgery to the shin bone
