No, even doctors seem sort of hesitant to tell me anything definitive as far as what I can and cannot do. They say things like "that's bone pain, there's nothing we can do." So I just experiment and try. When I first started walking, that was extremely painful also so I think it is best just to keep trying and not assume anything about what I might be able to do. If I had let pain stop me--I would have been stuck in bed for a year. Mind over matter......
