Chondromalacia

I have had an MRI which shows high grade chondromalacia in each hip. I am in so much pain I can't walk without a stick. My doctor has said this is arthritis? when you goggle it, it says articular cartilage degeneration. Has anybody on here have the same thing and how was it treated? My GP has referred me to orthopedics but has requested a routine appointment. When I phoned they said could be five months before I am seen. I am on medication but it just dulls the pain which is constant. I am getting physio but has made no improvement.
