Did you actually have an MRI done? It sounds like when I tore the meniscus of my knee. I couldn't even drive long distances b/c it hurt so bad. I had arthroscopic surgery last Dec (06), and now that knee is better than the other one.
If your doctor has not helped the problem, perhaps it is time to try a different one. Doctors actually DON'T know everything, despite how some of them try to tell them they do. ASK QUESTIONS when you go to the doctor. Like "I was religious about doing the exercises but I still hurt. What is the next step?" Remember, they work for YOU, you are paying them. Educate yourself about your symptoms (the internet is great for this) and work with your doctor. If he won't work with you, change doctors. Insurance has to pay for a second opinion BY LAW.
