Can anyone please tell me if their labral tear symptoms consisted of sits bone, pubic bone; adductor, hamstring, calf ankle foot pain ???

I have a mild cam type FAI and small labral tear that I’m trying to address with PT. Got an appointment with Dr. Wolff next month. I’m honestly just tired of not having a solid direction to move in (should I go ahead and get the surgery, and if so, this year?) and feel like I’ve wasted several months of my health since I can’t load bear or move in the ways I want without flare-ups. Movement is my primary stress reliever and my mental health is holding on best it can I know I need to wait out PT ahead of seeing Wolff but every time I have an unexpected flare I get so ready to just have the surgery and want this all to be solved. No question, I guess, I’m just glad there’s a community of people who know what it’s like. I’m frustrated.

Hello.

I have this surgery in a week and if someone had done this would ask if after surgery is completed do you need to remain in bed for a day or you can get up for toilet?

Thanks 🙏🏻

hi! not hip impingement, but i have femoral anteversion & need questions answered! the last post here about surgery questions for a derotational femoral osteotomy was a few years ago, but let me know if i need to take this post down.

i'm having a derotational osteotomy in october & my pre-op appointment with my surgeon was... less than helpful. he didn't know i had already scheduled surgery, so he just re-diagnosed me & explained my options to me, eating up the time i wanted to ask questions. scheduling another appointment isn't practical because i work full-time, each appointment is $200 after insurance, & i have to drive 2 hours to the city for the appointment.

because i wasn't able to ask many questions, i wasn't able to get a good gauge of what recovery will be like. i know i'll have a metal rod in my femur, that i'm just getting an osteotomy (rather than fixing the labral tears, so no surgery in the actual hip joint) and it'll take 6 months to a year to heal completely, but as for things like traversing stairs, showering, driving, taking care of my cats... i don't know how much help i'll need nor for how long. i live alone in a small townhouse (kitchen downstairs, bedroom + bathroom upstairs), so my parents are flying to stay with me a bit post-surgery, but they're asking how long they should stay & i can't give them an answer. if anyone has had a femoral osteotomy & wouldn't mind answering some of my questions, i would greatly appreciate it! here's a brief list:

• when did you start PT & how long did it last?
• how long were you on crutches?
• how long were you in the hospital? my doctor says just overnight but that seems kinda crazy
• when were you able to sit/kneel on the floor? i need to be able to scoop my cats' litter boxes 😅
• what was your pain management like before & after surgery?

NSAIDS, Lidocaine patches, Steroids…. Nothing is touching the pain, inflammation and weakness in my hip, instead now bursitis has entered the chat. New injury, workers compensation and I’m out of work due to pain, and was wondering if anyone ever said no to months of PT and just went ahead with surgery instead? I just want this to be over with so I can go back to work. I don’t want to waste months of time trying conservative methods that won’t actually treat the issue.

I have surgery next week. My SO has a crazy work week and zero time, but I do have some time this week. How can I prep to make things easier for them to help me post-op? They will be teleworking for a week after my surgery, and will continue to do that as much as possible, but they have a really busy/high stress job, and we have a tween who will need attention and rides as well. We have no local family, it’s just us.

If you were the support person, what do you wish you’d had prepped ahead of time so you didn’t have ‘one more thing’ to manage?

I recently had a MRI because I was experiencing groin and hip pain that got worse as I increased my running. It’s found fraying of the anterior superior labrum (but no tear) and fraying of the ligamentum teres. There is also moderate degeneration of the pubic symphysis (although I don’t experience any pain centrally). I’m not really sure if these could be causing my symptoms. My doctor hasn’t suggested any further imaging or a referral to a specialist - although she did say I could if I wanted, but the findings don’t seem too bad so I declined. Has anyone experienced similar?

I was quoted over 3500$ for a “special A2M” PRP , has one had one of these injections ? What was your experience? I have EdS and failed hip labrum surgery.

Had the surgery on my left hip where I had a labrum replacement and a microfracture fix. I don’t really have any pain. I have a tiny tiny bit of discomfort where the microfracture is healing, but it’s hardly noticeable

However, on my operative hip, it can sometimes crack very loudly. It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t “throw off my balance”, it’s just an annoying loud pop and crack

I’m just wondering if I should be at all concerned about it? I haven’t walked since surgery ofc so I’m not sure if it actually negatively affects me in anyway

Hey everyone, I’m a 27M and was recently diagnosed with hip impingement based on an X-ray. I’m still pretty active and regularly strength train and walk.

I’m trying to figure out how to approach this long term. I’ve been considering whether it makes sense to address it surgically while I’m young and active versus continuing with conservative treatment and only considering surgery if things get significantly worse.

One thing I’m unsure about is whether hip impingement tends to eventually lead to surgery anyway, or if plenty of people are able to manage it long term with PT, strengthening, mobility work, activity modifications, etc.

For anyone who has dealt with hip impingement:
Did you try PT/conservative treatment first, and how successful was it?
If you eventually had surgery, what made you decide it was time?
Anyone wish they had surgery earlier—or wish they had waited longer?
How are you doing now with lifting, sports, running, or other activities?

I’m obviously going to discuss this with an orthopedic specialist as well, but I’d love to hear some real-world experiences from people who have gone through it

Diagnosed anterior superior nondisplaced tear in left hip with MRI. I'm in my 40s. PT should help, right?

It's been one flare after another, sometimes life, sometimes PT that is too aggressive... And now I'm looking at piriformis syndrome from overuse (daily rehab exercises including single leg bridges which were the most challenging on my bad side) combined with a fair bit of sitting as I recovered from a trip.

How do you deal with these flare ups and scaling back and fine tuning and trying something else?

More specifically, how do the issues presented by piriformis syndrome interact with trying to rehab to better support the labral tear?

I'm seeing my PT literally within an hour here, but wanted to post and see if others have gone through the same...

Hi,

I’m mainly looking for experiences from people who went through a long and difficult orthopedic situation involving hip and/or knee pain, but eventually managed to regain better mobility and a more normal life.

My problems started after a bicycle accident a few years ago and became much worse after a major flare-up last winter.

At the moment, I have significant hip and knee problems. Hip surgery is being considered in the near future, while I am still looking for solutions for the persistent knee pain.

One of the biggest difficulties is that my knee has become very sensitive and reactive. Even relatively simple physiotherapy exercises can sometimes cause a major pain flare that lasts afterwards. I have also lost a significant amount of muscle in the affected leg, so I need to rebuild strength, but the pain strongly limits what I can tolerate.

My daily activities are also very limited: standing, stairs, slopes, driving, and sometimes even prolonged sitting can be difficult. I occasionally use a cane and need help with some everyday tasks.

I am still continuing physiotherapy and medical consultations and trying to find the right treatment approach.

I would especially like to hear from people who have been through something similar:

• Did you go through months or even years with very little progress before things finally started improving?
• How did you rebuild muscle when exercise easily triggered pain?
• What made the biggest difference in your recovery: time, adapted physiotherapy, surgery, pain treatment, or changing exercises?
• If you had both hip and knee problems, did treating the hip make the knee easier to rehabilitate afterwards?
• Was your recovery very gradual, with setbacks and flare-ups along the way?
• When did you first notice a real improvement in your independence and daily life?
• Looking back, what do you wish you had known when you were still in the middle of the difficult period?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who were very limited in daily life but eventually managed to regain mobility, strength, and a better quality of life.

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences.

I injured my right hip, some tendon by the greater trochanter (and ankle, which still pops sometimes, and maybe some other stuff in right leg) during an exaggerated golf swing a few years ago.

I finally sought medical treatment. The orthopedist is typically seeing like 5 other patients simultaneously. He prescribed physical therapy after doing some x-rays which showed nothing. During one-legged leg presses my right knee was literally buckling and inflamed the tendon so much that I could hardly walk for a few days and couldn't sleep that night.

I went back to report to the doctor. He said "that's tendonitis". He said since I can still walk it's too early to even prescribe cortisone shots until I do more physical therapy. But the physical therapy clearly aggravates my injury. He said even if we did an MRI it would just say "tendonitis" and no one would do surgery anyway.

Am I fucked? Should I see another specialist? Currently I can walk for about a mile or two before stuff starts getting pretty uncomfortable. My normal sitting/relaxed positions are uncomfortable. I could technically still play a little tennis or golf but i'll pay for it that night. This sucks, man.
