Well, it's now June and I'm fully walking again. I get a bit of stiffness in the morning and when I've been sat for a fairly long length of time. I'm not able to run, and slowly building up (down?) to being able to squat fully, although with no weights.
It's been a complete pain in the arse, but, 5 months after the injury i'm starting to feel a bit more normal again.
I hope that anyone who has this injury in the future who stumbles upon this 5 piece thread has a bit of hope in their heart that it won't be awful forever...!
