Mate, general practicioners generally dont know shit. Go and see a specialist and get a scan. My wife tore a CHUNK of bone from her thigh bone and it floated around in her knee joint for 3 months until she went to a specialist and they decided to operate all the while the local G.P had no Idea what was happening and said an X-RAY was a waste of time
I slightly tore my ACL whilst climbing quite a few years ago and with the help of my phythio/massuese/witch doctor I was doing six day off track bushwalks within 4 weeks, The best way to heal is reduce the swelling drugs, ice, compression, cold ocean wading or sitting, rest, NO ALCOHOL, GOOD FOOD, ditch the takeaway and look at protein supplements as well then when the healing starts get onto the hot/cold packs and get some massage into the muscles again to relax them as one side of your body will overcompensate to protect the damaged side causing its own problems. If you need any specific info eg good massuese etc send us a P.M.
Good Luck
