Buy at least two pairs of "support skivies" one size smaller than normal - believe me on thie one.
Buy a flexible gel icepack. take 2 days where you take it really easy, no heavy lifting - etc... 3rd day resume more normal activities = although I would follow your dr's advice on working out.
The fun part is "flushing" the system when you are given the green light...
It's nice to be shooting blanks ...
