A member asked:

I developed hip flexor tendonitis 3 1/2 months post hip arthroscopy. how long would something like this take to resolve? tired of having hip pain

Dr. Edward Hellman answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Depends: It really depends on cause. If it was from an injury or overuse, it should get better quickly; certainly by 4-6 weeks. If there is something underlying that is causing it, then it may not get better until the cause is addressed.
