How would you suppose that anyone can meaningfully comment upon your doctor's recommendations without knowing your diagnosis. The prudent thing to do is to not aggravate an existing problem until one finds out the possible consequences of doing so.

 

I appreciate your reply but would also like to point out that I wasn't asking for comments on my doctors recommendations, I was simply seeing if there was anyone with experience of this injury in my particular sport who may be able to offer advice as to what was and wasn't possible with the injury because my doctor in their own words wasn't particularly familiar with the sport. Maybe you should take more time to properly ascertain what someone is asking when they post on these boards before replying in a frankly unhelpful and derogatory manner. As to implying an athlete would be stupid enough to aggravate an injury, if you had read my initial question properly I did say that my doctor felt the sport would not aggravate the injury, I was asking for opinions of those who may have had the same injury for the very reason that I wish not to aggravate it, I had thought a forum on foot injury would be the sort of place to discuss/ask for friendly advice, clearly I was wrong and I apologise for taking up so much of your time.
