Just make sure you follow your Docs instructions on the use of crutches. Seems too soon to be off them to me. My Doc required using both crutches for 6 weeks. At my 6 week check up he released me to start walking without them.  The time is required for the bones to strengthen and attach to the device.

I understand that walking is one of the best things you can do early on. My recovery plan said you can get off the crutches as soon as you feel comfortable but absolutely no impact for 6 weeks. The only relapse you might have will be caused by trying to do too much too soon, so go slowly.
