It is bit too early.confirm union of fractures by x-ray.
Gradual return to usual activities is the dictum to follow.

It depends on what has been done to the fracture whether operated or not. Post the xrays. However you should generally be able to put weight and do all the exercises including your rotation ankle by now. Generally some swelling and niggling pain stays for 6 to 12 months after such fractures because ankle is the weight bearing joint of the body which you shouldn't worry about as long as you can put weight and walk with some discomfort
