As mentioned above, medical advice on the forum is always suspect, but I will say:

1) Doctors don’t realize what “take it easy” means to an enthusiast and what they’re thinking is probably easier than whatever you’re thinking.

2) Pain is the body’s way of telling you you’re hurting something, so keep that in mind as you ride.

3) If you must commute by bike, give yourself extra time to get there so you don’t feel the need to rush through any pain.
