nobody know how my leg feels better than i do

It's a surgeons job to er on the side of caution, they use healing time estimates based on the population average (which includes women and old people) - a healthy and reasonably fit 22 yr old male's bones heal a great deal faster than that.

Been riding about and lifting stupidly heavy things (gf decided to build a chest of draws in the livingroom and had no way of getting it into the bedroom without dismantling the bed) for weeks, as the doc said the leg was full weight bearing with the metalwork.

Turns out for at least 2 weeks (unknown to me) the anchoring pins were loose in the bone and basically doing feck all!
