I fractured my foot in October and ever since then my balance has been off. My legs get really tired even if I'm up for 10-15min. It scares me that I can't leave the house because of this. Any ideas? I would try some walks outside but its either too cold or its snowing.

I found a program that has rehab videos for ankle sprain and foot problems. You can check them out at yipfit.com if you want. It looks like the have a lot of corrective exercises to improve proprioception, balance and strength.
It also can build you workouts you can do even though your foot is messed up so that way you don't lose too much while you recover. It worked awesome for my shoulder. Let me know how it goes.

Unfortunately it is not clear from your question which part of your leg was broken in your previous injury.
Given the length of time that has elapsed since your fracture, it is relatively unlikely to be a causative factor in your present symptoms.
Your pain could be related to a number of different problems involving the muscles, tendons, bones and joints of the leg.
It is possible to fracture a long bone of the forefoot (metatarsal) with excessive weight bearing exercise, classically recorded on prolonged military manoeuvres, hence known as a 'march fracture'.
Otherwise, it is unusual to break a leg bone through what would be thought of as normal activity, unless there is an abnormality of the underlying bone. This is then termed a pathological fracture.
As your livelihood depends in part upon pain-free mobility, I recommend you arrange to have the problem assessed by your doctor, who will be able to examine you and offer their opinion as to the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I think it will also help if you tell us what is the cause of the fracture? Classifying fractures depends on exactly where the break is. Most fractures can be treated at home with stabilization and elevation. If you are unsure of what to do, it is recommended that you contact your primary care doctor for medical advice.
You probably just hurt yourself. If you have an doubts contact your doctor.
