Hello, I understand your concerns.
It may be too early for such intensive work up since injury may recur and it would be good to wait for 1-2 more months before exercise. Also, before you do it, you should check your muscle contition with ultrasound or MRI scan which may reveal possible healing process and exact timing of exercise.
Wish you good health.
