Should I Stop Walking As I Have Osteochondritis Dissecans Of Talus?

I have osteochondritis dissecans of the talus in my ankle. It has a minor ache when I walk. Should I stop walking? It use to have no symptoms but now it does 5 weeks later. The x-ray shows that it has not detached (getting an MRI to make sure). We caught it early in an incidental finding.
