Broken leg..when will I walk?

I broke my leg in three places between the knee and ankle when a roof fell on me. It happened two weeks ago and I am sick of laying in bed. When will I be able to fully walk again?
Answer:
In about 6 months if you do what the doctor says. Due try to exercise the rest of your body but don't be foolish.
After 6 months is a good number.. And do be careful about stressing that leg, it's only a few months of your life and it is better than having more damage that may cause you to limp the rest of your life...
It depends on the severity of the breaks. Hairline fractues take much less recovery time than compound fractures. Just be patient. It will be a while.
When it is fully healed and you regain strength in that leg.
to fully walk will be about 6 months thats how long it takes it to really heal you will be able to take baby steps within a couple of months with the aid of walker or one crutch
If you're still in bed it must have been a really bad break. I broke mine in 3 places sometime ago and the cast came off in about 8 weeks but then I had to wear a brace and go for therapy and do a lot of leg exercises. I was walking fine in 4 months. I was walking with crutches the day after the break. Maybe your other injuries are contributing to the fact that you are still in bed.
