Broken calcaneus

On September 2nd I had a non displaces fracture of my left calcaneus. It was casted and non weight bearing.
It is now out of the cast and still non weight bearing.
My guestion is that you can still see the fracture line in the xray and the foot is still causing lots of pain.
How long shoud it take this to heal?
And you long before I can be weight bearing.
I am a 32 year old white male, smoker.

    hello I broke the calccaneus by falling from a ladder nearly . The doctor put an internal fixetor with some screws. The operation took place on the 13/7/04. My leg is still swollen and hurting 5 months after. The fracture healed good but my ankle is very stiff and hurting.
