Brother here is a motivational and inspiring story! Their was once a high school or college football player, I don't remember which! He broke one leg while playing and spent the next few months in the rehab weight room! Upon playing again he broke his other leg and decided football was not in his future!
The man I speak of is the first eight time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney!
So, it would appear, great things are on your bodybuilding horizon!
Wishing you a very speedy recovery!

i felt the same way last year bro, i had a really runny nose that lasted nearly 4 days, i thought my life was over, i even started abusing kleenex tissues, no matter what i did, i just couldnt get the thought of the soft aloe vera paper of my mind, i hit my lowest when running out one day, i went to the shops and waited in car park late one night, i saw a granny blowing her nose with some of that fine cushioned aloe vera induced goodness, i had too have some! i approached with caution, then booom i grabbed the product and went behind the bin and wiped my nose 16 times, to this day i dont know how i made it through! the power of the mind and being surrounded by loved ones, im now stronger than ever- as you will be! keep head up bro, you will be fine! lmao

I broke a leg -a clean break; bone nearly came out of the side of my leg. My choice was an 8 month, bed ridden, partial body cast or a risky operation where they put a rod in my leg. I opted for the rod. No cast. out of the hospital in a week, and was told to stay on crutches for a month.

After the swelling and pain left (about 5 days) I started practicing walking. after about two weeks I was like new but took it easy. After one month I walked in to my doc carrying my crutches. He gave me a clean bill of health. I soon forgot about the break and quit babying the leg. A year later they removed the rod.

I've never had an issue.

So... point being, If you didn't pulverise your bones, knees are ok, no lifetime pins required, you should be OK.

I'm glad you're on the mend. I had a severe leg injury and was laid up for months. Surgery and lots of rehab. I had to just accept it for what it was and work on my patience. I did exactly what my doctors and therapist said and worked hard. It has taken two years to get back to as normal as I can get, but I am proud of where I got to. I was able to many things the first year, but it took until year two to feel "normal" all the time.
Just be patient and accept where your at. There is no rushing it. Don't worry about what your not doing, it will drive you crazy. Hang in there and you'll make a full recovery.

How does one move with crutches and broken legs? Might wanna find a wheel chair.

How did you break both of your legs, Mate? You didn't say.

Also, the main reason why your doctor is being so vague with his answers is because only YOU can get back up. Your PHYSICAL well-being is his job to get you repaired. Your MENTAL well-being is down to you, AND ONLY YOU, to remain positive that you WILL get back up.

In December 2012, after having two of my lower lobes removed from my right lung, my doctor told me it would take me a MINIMUM 12 months before I could expect to be back in the gym and lifting again. The FIRST week of February 2013, just over two months later, I was laying down, setting myself up to do my first bench press set since my surgery.

I am about to undergo a second surgery on May 12th to have the remaining lobe of my right lung removed because of my lung cancer returning 8 weeks ago and my wife has already told my doctor, "Don't bother giving him any limitations for after his surgery. He just won't listen to you anyway". (Her EXACT words, Mate). And she's right.

Being down SUCKS!!! Getting back up, NO MATTER WHAT, proves to yourself exactly what you're made of.

"You Never Know How Strong You Are , Until Being Strong Is Your Only Choice".

YOU GOT THIS, Mate.

Time for you to get up. AGAIN.

Bro 4 years back I snaped my leg on a four wheeler foot slipped through the netting and foot pig shot through my fib and tib skin was only thing keeping it there today I deadlift close to 600 and squat 455 it took a long time but u will come back doctor told me I would never squat or deadlift agin u will come back u will walk in 3 or 4 months but its not fully done healing for about 12 to 14 find the best physical theapy around u there wasant no way I wad gonna let sone doctor tell me I couldnt do what I love hope this gave u motavation bro the downtime sucks but u will come back and come back stronger

Keep your head up and keep fightn. I have broke so many bones I'd say the most gruesome was at work got my hand sucked into a motor. It was a double edge sword BC without the gloves on my hand wouldn't have got sucked in but if I wasn't wearing the gloves it would of crushed half my hand off. Pulled the glove off and part of my hand was dangling below. Three surgeries later that day and my hand still not perfect. Physical therapy sucked but don't give up u can do this. the mind is such a powerful weapon when used right or can hold u back from achieving what u could. Its in the mindset good luck
PS its not a motor but cant get into more details without giving away what I do

A buddy of mine was on the sled press at the gym.He had 1300lbs on.He got a few reps in and on the next rep his tibia snapped and then his ankle snapped as the weight came back and pinned him.It was early in the morning on the weekend and the only one in the gym was the young lady that worked there.She took the plates off,one at a time.I can't remember if she called the ambulance before or after taking the weight off.Anyway,no more than a week later,he was back in the gym.He was in a wheelchair doing his regular workout,minus leg work,of course.He always worked out alone and continued to workout alone even in the wheelchair.He put plates and dumb bells in his lap and wheeled them to where he needed them.He was healed in around 4 months and went back to working on his legs.I don't believe he went back to lifting so much weight but he never quit.I lost contact with him many years ago and can't tell you how he is today,but I couldn't see a limp after the casts came off and he said his legs felt fine.So my advice to you is to get a wheelchair and get back in the gym.

Ive never broke both my legs. But I could imagine it could be horrible. Its only temporary though. Dont ask the doctor for the outcome. Your the one who decides that. If you want to run and play sports then you will. Never give up or lose faith. With time everything heals.

Broke my femur badly last year in a dirt bike accident. I knew the risks had been riding tracks for years but sooner or later it will get you. I had to have a second surgery because the first rod and pin trick didn't work. After 4 months of waiting I went to the doctor and he told me my leg was not healing. I almost lost it. I was expecting to start putting weight on my leg. Wrong, he referred me to a specialist for a bone graph and 8 weeks later my leg was healing and I could slowly apply weight. 7 months I was on crutches. Now a little over a year later, I can walk fine but I do limp a little after a long day on my feet. I have problems carrying anything heavy upstairs and I can skip-jog at a slow speed but I cannot run yet. I believe I will get there its just not going to happen overnight. My biggest thing was my right leg shrunk considerably when I couldn't put any weight on it. You will make it, I know it is also depressing, you just have to be patient at first listen to the doctors and don't push to early. That my be my reason for the second surgery, that and I am forty years old, 7 months, 80 staples and some pain. Not something I would want to relive, but I did heal up.

I've broken my ankle when I was younger, fucking sucked because I was a kid and couldn't skate or ride my bike with my friends for 4-5 months... But everything healed fine in time and fully recovered. Never bothered me since, even while sprinting etc. I think you will be fine bro, just take it easy and don't try and be a hero.
