You can also elect not to do certain moves. A good school will accept whatever limitations you have (whether they are for safety or for personal comfort). Everything you do in a martial arts setting should be because you feel safe and comfortable doing it. A good school and teacher will respect your feelings and help you work around this issue.

The option of trying a similar, but less hands-on, art is also good. Nothing says that you can't try different things until you find the fit that feels just right.

I'm sorry you got hurt.
