I play high level men's soccer in Calgary, and I can say from experience that playing with naggin injuries vs. playing when healthy is night and day. Your performance is really affected when you have injuries, as I know in my case I tend to play a different style of game that doesn't make me successful when i'm injured. having recently recovered from acl reconstuction surgery, I am also currently rehabing a naggin ankle injury. I would suggest taking time off to recover from your injuries, I played on my wonky ankle all summer, and the physiotherapist I am seeing right now says that if I don't take the time to heal, I might not be able to run on my ankle again. Period. Even if your case isn't as severe, I would still suggest taking some time off to heal up. Like mentioned above, swimming is great, and so is biking; minimal chances to injure or reaggravate your injuries. Best of luck.
