Fractured Tibia And Fibula From Soccer

[turan]

Hi,

I'm 18 and i broke my tibia and fibula on november 8th 2009. I did this whilst playing soccer. The doctor said i do not need surgery. I have a cast from my toes all the way up my leg its been on now for 5 weeks.

How long until i can get this cast off or at least start putting weight on my leg.

And how long until i can start playing soccer again.
