I don't think anyone who doesn't cycle can understand how much one's mental health is affected and how strongly the pros outweigh the cons. (Although, the healthcare team I currently see do seem to appreciate this.) The number of friends who've suggested I 'lay off' or 'give up on cycling now' as if it was a dangerous rebellious fad or bad habit...:(
I've sustained far more domestic or running injuries in my time than cycling ones, as my knees can attest.

congrats!
nothing physical preventing you getting back on the bike. of course there is increased risk of a break if you fall back on it.
i say this because cycling may be important to your mental health, which i doubt doctors or physios factor in when advising you.
