Somebody please give me a realistic time frame - average for this kind of injury???

Thank you Cady for your response. Yes I have been removing the boot at night for a little while now and as of 3 days ago have been given exercises to do 3 times a day, about 40mins worth, to move and stretch the ankle. I have no pain while I am doing them but have noticed an ache in the area of my fibula fracture post starting the physio. Its not too painful and by no means needs pain relief so i am putting it down to actually using the unused ankle and it being normal - please advise if its a concern.

Just from the past three days of the physio instructions I have noticed less swelling and more movement within the foot itself, the ankle is still extemely stuck but mrer flexibility is noticable. As its freeing up it is difficult not too put more weight on my foot too. I am using a walking frame, not crutches and up until physio commencing I was hopping and hardly using the injured foot except for balance. Now I am limp walking with the frame and the ankle copes well - hey this could be causing that fibula ache??? No pain while walking - if anything its preferred as my left leg gets a break from bearing all the weight! I have also began a weight loss programme - purely diet at the moment for obvious reasons, and I am hoping this will help recovery speed as I need to shed a good 20kg for overall wellbeing.

Just in regards to weightbearing and walking normal again...In 3 weeks i see the surgeon again, would it be normal for them to say...ok start to try and walk normally with the frame, full weight - it would be 3 months by then?? I am eager to recover quickly too as i have 4 children 12yrs, 9 yrs, 4yrs, 16mths that need their mum and my husband is running out of leave and I really need to drive. Of course I am being wise cause dont want to go backwards but could somebody please give me a realistic time frame - average for this kind of injury??? Thanks all for your input. )
