I've had a hip problem for about ten years.
Had countless physio sessions, osteopathy, Pilates, x-rays and an MRI. Never helped.
Finally, had an ultrasound today and the operator spotted the tear straightaway. Apparently, I need a MR arthurogram (?) to confirm it but it basically needs an op.
It's a relatively recently discovered problem (last ten years, more prolific in sports people).
Does anyone have any experience of it?
Does the surgery work? From Googling it, it appears to have a 90% success rate which is good enough for me!

What's OA hip? Osteo-arthritis?
I've always had to wear cushioned shoes and run off-road. I'm just a little concerned too that it may be too late to fix the tear as it's been a problem for so long.
You need to see a doc then, get it injected (and that is not easy)
Failing that a trim may be needed
Where are you in the coutry I know a man in Caqmbridge who is the bees knees
I'm in north London and my local hospitals are the Royal Free or Barnet General. Not sure which place I should push for a referral to?
I'll have to work my way through the quagmire that is the NHS.
I dunno what I've done though but it's been hurting like there's a spike up there for the last few days. D*mn painful.
