Has anyone else had a degenerative labral tear in hip? If so can you give some advice on what docs did for ya. I know they hurt like crazy and I have bilateral ones. Go back to talk to doc about these in august but would like to hear from real people. Thx!

I have only had a clean separation of the femur from the hip socket due to a traumatic fall. Due to being in shock and trying to move I pushed the femur up into the socket and had to have a closed reduction,

I don't know about labral tears but have much experience with hip pain as my hip was pinned and the pins lodged in my muscle and I had a non union at the hip socket which I lived with for a year before surgeon would believe me when I kept saying something was wrong,

I believe the one right thing I did was continue to do PT and exercise during that year. It kept my muscle strong and when I had hip replacement I had an easy go of it.

If your orthopedic doctor will allow you to do PT I highly recommend it.
It is important to keep those muscles strong. It may take some pain management and dedication on your part but it is worth it.

After my surgery when I would have some pain in my hip I would get up and walk for ten minutes and the pain would ease,

Again I state firmly I am not familiar with labral tears. You should listen to doctor. Also there is a special board apart from DS that got me through my hip surgery. It is called Totally Hip Support. These people know everything there is to know about hips and the support is incredible.

Good luck

Hippy thx for the information. It sounds painful all that you went through but I'm glad your doing better. I try to walk so e but he tears make it very painful. I've been doing PT on and off for 14 yrs and still going now. I go back next month so the doctor can explain more on what I should do.

I recently found out from MRI that I too have bi lateral labral hip tears!!!! Haven't spoke with the. Dr yet, appointment is next week . But this would explain where A LOT of my pain has been coming from! I've been having this pain for years and Drs think I was Drug shopping, ASSHOLES! I wonder how they'd feel walking around with two labral tears!
I'll keep you posted as to what this Dr advises. Please you do the same.
I'm dealing with a miniscus tear as well, surgery is Nov 3.
I feel like all my joints and cartilage are wearing out on me.... Too many things need surgery and I'm overwhelmed !!!!
