Hello Doctor, I fell down from Bike and injured my left knee. After then when I had done X-Ray, there was fracture in Tibia Condyle. Doctor told me to wait for 5 days with medicine for reduce the swelling. After then he has done Cylinder cast for 1 month. Doctor told me to done X-Ray again after 1 month. Now my question is how much time it will take for normal activities and walking and how serious is the injury? Please find attached the x-ray report.

This could have been managed with a surgery. That would have made u free of cast and allowed knee range of motion. Anyways this will heal in a cast and wound take 1.5 months to start taking weight.
Next Steps
Cast removal at 1.5m
