I'd like to thank you both for your replies, they are much appreciated.
The document attached helped me get a much better understanding of what i may be dealing with and i am going to seek another oppinion as suggested.

Im finding the pain is quite minimal now but i do get sharp pains now and again, especially if sudden movements or prolonged walking. I am still waiting for my physio appointment so hopefully il learn more once iv seen them.

For others reading this who think they may have something similar id strongly advice you to seek a professional oppinion as soon as the injury occurs, as the waiting list for both the physio and operation is quite long, roughly 3 weeks for the physio to make contact and iv been told a few months for the op. For me this is quite depressing as i waited 2 months, and am missing my hobbies (worried about the up-comming ski season now)

again, thanks for your replies!
