Left Hip: Labral Tear & Mild Hip Dysplasia Posted: 01-27-06 09:43am
I've had left butt pain which has finally
been diagnosed correctly:
a tear in the labrum. Results also
showed mild hip dysplasia in the left hip
(which I think i've had for a long while
but has never caused any problems at all
until recently.)
doctors think I should have arthroscopic
hip surgery. If I was sure that my pain
was because of the labral tear, i'd go
ahead and have the surgery to relieve the
pain. -but if my pain is due to the
dysplasia, surgery won't help with pain,
correct? I am confused.
I'm thinking (hoping) that the pain is
probably due to the labral tear, not the
mild dysplasia. Am I thinking correctly?
Any replies/feedback would be greatly
appreciated.
