Suggestions for working out with injury

I can use some suggestions for working out with at injury to my Psoas muscle in my left hip. This injury has been killing me for a year now. It was misdiagnosed as sciatica last August and as a result I have tried a bunch of useless treatments because of it. Every day I am in some level of pain in my left hip, hamstring, back and hipflexor. Some days it just an irritating reminder, while others I can barely move. I have seen my Ortho Surgion already and he want me to get another MRI with Contrast, but I am waiting for approval from my insurance company. Once we know how bad it really it, we can plan on the proper method to fix it, but until then I am in a holding pattern.
I am looking for exercises that I can do, that will keep me burning calories, without aggravating the injury. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I'd speak to your surgeon because you don't want to do something that could make it worse until you know how bad it is I wouldn't do anything without putting it past the surgeon first. At a basic level just keep moving and walking but the Doctor should be the first person to advise on this0
