hi there, have they told you you can remove your boot and begin range of motion exercises? typically there will be limitations for the amount of weight you can put through your leg as you mentioned, but with this type of fixation you can normally begin to move it once out of plaster...don't be concerned with the surgeon's weightbearing instructions, they will be based on a combination of the surgical technique, your bone stock quality and the nature of the fixation - it is always best to follow these instructions carefully as they are designed to prevent damaging the repair! everyone is different but you are by no means "not normal"
