Just got the results of my MRI. Had a sneaking suspicion since August that this is what it was but doc just confirmed a torn hip labrum, slight hip Inpingement and some inflammation and fluid in the hip. Felt it reaching awkwardly for a ball in softball over the summer. Getting around much isn't a problem but certain awkward steps result in pretty significant groin pain, the coughing bout with this cold I've had aggravates the hip as well and as a marathon runner not being able to run has been the worst part of it all. I have the snapping/clicking in the hip too (that I've been told is common for some with this injury). I have been reading mixed results on the surgery outcomes and am reaching out to BBI for some help.
I'm 31 and still want to remain active in the gym and in the sports I play outside of work and I doubt PT will do the trick.
Believe it or not, I got one cortisone shot and things have been hunky dory since.
I still feel something going on in there but have no pain and am not limited in riding me road bike. that being said, I do not run (can't due to knee damage) and cannot do any pressing movements with my legs (same knee issues).
I have torn cartilage in both knees, the hip and just has surgery on my right shoulder. Getting old is a royal pain in the ass.
Good luck with your injury. Hip replacement is an option but nothing to sneeze at. Maybe they can do an arthroscopic repair?
I do a lot of yard work and just waiting to make a mistake. I've come close on a few mishaps.
Tore my shoulder labrum years ago and had it fixed. Just wondering about the leg
From my experience with a torn labrum in the shoulder, a slap tear and a torn rotator cuff, I would also mention that you should consider how this may effect you 20 years or more, down the road. I'm 50 and I chose not to get my shoulder operated on 26 years ago. While it's holding up well, oddly enough, if it suddenly deteriorates, and I should need surgery, the likelihood of an adequate outcome becomes less and less. Which option will help you most in the long run?
I had surgery 18 months ago (i was 25) and was back running in probably 3-4 weeks, and not had a single setback since
this was for cam impingement
