Hi there,
After months of pain, which has progressively gotten worse, I've been MRI-diagnosed with a hip Labral Tear. I'm now at the point that walking any distance at all is agony and its constantly (multiple times per hour) clicking. All physiotherapy appears to have done is worsened it, regardless of whose advice I follow.
I'm presuming surgery is the next option, but I'm having difficulty finding-out anything about what the outcomes of this particular surgery are (last thing I want to do is make it worse), and how I should go about finding a surgeon (assuming I don't want my GP to refer me to the local Hospital).
Do I have any other option but surgery, or should I have exhausted physio further? Its just to frustrating because obviously I would rather physiotherapy but when literally every physio exercise I do makes the pain so intense I want to scream-out, what should I do?
Thank you for literally any help/direction at all you can give me,
it would be much appreciated,
Lost and in agony,
Sarah
