Very hard for anyone here to compete with the person you spoke with. Obviously he/she is far more qualified and knows the situation far better, so why would you think that others who don't know as much could help? ???

Get a second opinion from an ortho who specializes in sports injuries. Generally they will tell you it's possible to work around it depending on the severity of the injury. When go you to a regular ortho who just deals with the general public (non-athletes) the first thing they are going to say is to not do anything and layoff of it.

Been there done that beginning in 1977. Anti-inflammatories worked wonders, BUT keep in mind that once better you have to make changes to your routine to avoid recurrance. You have to figure out what caused the problem and avoid repeating or you'll likely be back to square one later on. That's just me though, your situation may be different.
