You can continue if there is little or manageable pain.
But remember, if you walk over the osteochondral defect too much or if you are heavy weight, then you would be doing more damage to the defect in terms of depth and size.
So choose wisely.
For time being you can try PRP.

It depends on the size, location and stage of the lesion . It is better to see a sports med surgeon and make an informed decision.
