Garrett,
i just read your post now and hope I can help.
I am also having problems, but with both my hips.
Arthroscopic surgery sounds like a better alternative to me than maybe later on needing hip replacements.

I called the hospital of special surgery in manhattan, new york (212-606-1000) to find out what doctors perform arthroscopic surgery of the hip. Someone there matched me with a doctor who takes my insurance. His name is Dr. Edwin su (212-606-1128). He specializes in arthroscopic surgery of the hip and performs many of them. I have an appointment with him in a couple of weeks to see if I am a candidate for the surgery.

I will probably go for a second opinion somewhere, but I don't know where just yet.

I don't know where you are from, but if you are near nyc, it may be worth it for you to get a opinion from him.

Good luck. Let me know how you are doing.
