Shit news.
Mine was broken in a bad smash some years back. I had it in a sling but it refused to heal, mal union or some such. I had a plate put in which had lots of screws and all the rest of it. It took five months before they were happy enough with it for me to ride my bike. I went slightly nuts, but I did exactly what they said.
The long shot is that I have 100% use and movement etc. A couple of years later I had the plate out and I now have no pain or senstitivity at all.
Some guys on the forum have almost kept riding, they're made of harder stuff than me and being honest, a few months vs possible catastrophic damage, no contest.
Do what the doctors advise.
Heel up soon,
Ben
