I’m very sorry to hear this. I don’t think you should push any gear right now obviously since you need to be contacting a doctor & exploring whether surgery is a good option now, BUT I will say that you can choose to view this obstacle as an opportunity.
It is very easy (and justifiably so!) to lose all motivation when injury comes for you. It’s defeating. BUT something I choose to do is try to think about something I can do and double down on that.
You can train legs 3x a week. I did this after my bicep repair, and while off any gear in about 3 months or so I set a new lifetime best on my Safety Bar Squat. I got to the point where I could do 150 steps per leg of unloaded walking lunges in a session, 3 sets of 50/leg.
When my back was jacked up, I focused on my bench press. You can do leg curls every training day until you can’t walk & have the biggest hamhocks hanging off your legs of anyone in the gym. You can take up daily walks, or even running, or drag a sled you clip to a belt on your waist. You can focus on deadlifting if the gym has no SSB - if it hurts to hold the barbell, Spud Inc makes a Deadlift Harness strap that goes over your neck and the barbell ends you can use to deadlift without gripping the barbell hard.
Find something you can do and promise yourself you will become better than ever at it. Being broken does not mean you are toothless!
