I had the same injury, not nearly as bad as yours sounds. I self-treated with ice and rest. I DID weight train, but upper body only. After a couple of weeks I was able to start doing legs again and LIGHT cardio. It still barks at me on occasion, but I back off when that happens.
Cycling does not seem to bother it IF you do not use pedal clips (IOW, push only, no pull). I started that intermittently. I pulled mine running, and I did no running whatsoever for about 3 weeks.
