You should talk to your doctor about it.
Edit: downvotes from salty individualists. You're not an expert. If you were, you'd give your expert opinion.
I actually have an appointment here in about 2 hours for this exact reason. Just seeking if anyone else has had any experience with this kind of injury, and what they did during their down time to stay active.
My dr recommended physical therapy. I went to an orthopedist. Told me to jog/walk versus run and reduce length/distance. Recommended to continue doing squats and deadlifts and to reduce weight. Add more stretching and planks. Prescribed an NSAID called Meloxicam. I haven’t started therapy yet but I am walking 3 miles per day to stay active at 3.5-4 mph. Jogging doesn’t feel comfortable. I ordered a brace to see if that will help.
Oh yeah definitely. I usually run/walk. I try not to jog, because of how hard the impact is on my knees. When I did interval running(sprint for so long, then walk for so long) I never hurt this bad. And because my running doesn't make me hit the pavement as hard I never had issues. It was when I went to jogging that everything hurt. But I'm definitely gonna do some walking lightly to stretch and keep things moving.
Glad to hear it. Just making sure.
