Like everyone else here is saying -- listen to your doctor, and don't ever rush it.
When I gingerly ventured back into playing after 1-1/2 weeks off, I made sure that I affected by absolutely no pain medication. That way, if anything even slightly funky started to happen, I would feel it right away.
Be careful, and be much safer than you think might be necessary. This IS something that could affect the rest of your playing lifetime.
