Best guess.. 6 to 8 weeks and you will have some muscle atrophy that will cause weakness and tiredness in that leg.....And we dont heel as faster as the youngens..😷

@1234cardiff This too shall pass. But I empathise. I was once grounded for 8 months with an achilles tendon op that went badly wrong and count put that foot on the ground for six of those months. But you get through these things. My advice is dont rush the recovery. It will only take longer if you do..😷
