You don't need a sports doctor. You need an expert on diaphragm ruptures. (If those exist!) There are two questions which you need answered, for which I can't easily find answers in the academic literature:
* Once torn, will your diaphragm ever return to normal strength (or anywhere close)?
* If so, how long does it take?
Until and unless it's back to normal, no weight lifting, no jumping, no riding over potholes on a stiff bike, and no intervals.
When my first surgeon asked me what could have caused the damage, I said I dropped a 225 lb bar bell on my chest once and said that is not enough.
I wouldn't be so sure.
