This is not quite the same thing, but I had a bunionectomy in January 2018 and then revision surgery the following September to remove the hardware and both the surgeon and the PT told me it would be at least a full year before I felt more fully normal. Honestly, though, it's only in the last 6-8 months that I've felt like I'm back to where I was pre-surgery.
I would say stick with PT as long as you can afford to do it, and do your exercises religiously and often on your own. I told my PT what my expectations were for being able to resume my normal level of activity and that really helped us map out a plan to get me back to that. And be patient with your body. It is so frustrating not to be able to do all the things you were able to before injury, but you can get back there. As for PTSD, maybe ask your doctor for a mental health referral? I wish you the best as you recover.
