I dunno. What's your doc say?
el ridgeo:
I broke my leg up pretty badly - no cast, but had a TI rod inserted, screws etc, etc. It was nasty. I did my first dive about 5 weeks after the unfortunate incident. I couldn't even get a real shoe on.. I split a size 12 Converse Chuck Taylor to get my fat foot in, and sort of jammed it into my huge Turtle fin.
It was ugly, I wasn't kicking well, but there were no adverse affects. Getting out was a challenge - I was still limping at this time, but it all worked.
Be careful with the gear. Speak to your doc. I did - he told me to be careful. I was, and it was great to get back into the groove again.
