    Get a second opinion from a Physio / Sports Therapist. Majority of doctors will approach a muscle injury as they would an illness but more often than not you can continue doing some form of exercise if it is muscular.

    Majority of injuries that I see would not involve prolonged resting periods as the aim is to retrain a muscle and enable increased bloodflow to allow the affected area to recover quicker.*

    (* reference to sports related muscle injuries for the most part)

    Thanks for reply. The injury is not muscle related.
