Broken Ankle Recovery Time?

[LoneLifter]

Hi Guys,

I broke my ankle 2 weeks ago.....Doctor said it was a clean break and that surgery shouldn't be necessary. I have an appointment next week to have another picture taken to make sure things are staying aligned.

I keep hearing that I will be out for a minimum of 4-5 more weeks in a cast before I get a "walking cast" or a boot. This really sucks because I was hoping to compete in the World Jiu Jitsu Championships during the 1st week of June....just when I will be getting out of the cast.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the recovery time? Will GH help? Anyone with similar experiences?

Neglected to mention for anyone interested. The break was in the fibula and it was a clean break all the way thorugh the bone.
