Ray I've been personal training for 5 years now and done tree planting as well. Both have given me an in depth look at how the human body adapts to anything you throw at it.

Keep up with your rehabilitation, listen to those people and I'm sure you'll gain a great deal of mobility back in that leg.
Try and research anything you can about the issue and take matter into your own hands. The health system cannot be trusted.
things like...
Massage therapy.

Range of motion exercises,

Proper Diet

Stretching and Strengthening concepts

There is tons of useful information. and the body is an AMAZING thing. Empower yourself with the knowledge to get you back in the saddle with confidence!
