Sorry to hear that, DFP, I must admit that my treatment has been a little better than yours, only waited a month for the MRI, and physio referral only took a week.
Do you know what? All I really want is to be able to get back on my bike so I can kiss goodbye to the sodding bus, it's driving me nuts. I don't care for now if I can't do proper cycliing (was gonna do more long distance and start playing polo, decision was made around a week before the injury... :-( ). I just want to be able to commute, the longest I need is about 5 miles each time. I don't mind being a bit slow, anything is faster than the bus.
I really regret having listened to the docs advice, which was not to put weight and keep a knee brace on for unitl the had the MRI report, which was about 6 weeks. It fucking weaking my leg through and through. And when they found out I was actually doing it what I was told (I was seen by a different doc that time), they told me off as if it's all my fault that I kept the brace on.
But I guess what's happened has happened, a very hard lesson to be had.
