Joe, I have no medical advice to give - only praise and encouragement to you for your efforts to get back in the saddle.

Here in the US, our version of Football seems to take many by storm in the fall and early winter months. I've never had much interest, but this year, there's a relative miracle playing quarterback/on field coach named Peyton Manning.

I don't worship sports folks like some. However, his story on getting back to a professional level and being at the top of the game, after very debilitating neck surgeries is quite inspiring. He could hardly even toss a football with his throwing arm about 2 and a half years ago. Today, he is setting scoring records as one of the older quarterbacks in the NFL. He had to re-learn how to throw, etc.

Keep in mind this article was written in September of 2012, a year before this record setting season.

Perhaps you can take some inspiration from this. I hope so.
