6 months post op. r hip cam decompression, labral tear. still having quite a bit of pain. dr said normal, can take a long time. any thoughts?

Can be long: Hip arthroscopy is evolving. We are learning that we need to take away more bone than we used to think. By 6 months, you should be improving. If not improving or if new symptoms arise, such as clicking, you need a new evaluation. If you are improving, hang in there.

I have CAM FAI and had an MRI done, but instead of showing labral tear there was "superior chondral labral separation; degeneration with mild blunting of the anterosuperior labrum." How different is that from a tear? Is arthroscopy still used? Thank?
