During injury recovery a general suggestion is to limit any possible impact or rough, jarring, aggravating activities while you are having bothersome symptoms..
If walking is still an issue then maybe kicking a ball might be aggravating for now..
Might look at Feldenkrais and Alexander movement - this may help others that have issues with body movement & hard step sensations..
Feldenkrais - Google Search
Alexander movement - Google Search

Caution and care for now will pay off in time..

Return to activities as your body allows, with no increase of any symptoms....listen to your body....
