2-12 weeks of pain: Hip arthroscopy causes postop discomfort of a mild to moderate nature that progressively improves within the first 2-12 weeks. Discuss expectations of pain resolution with your surgeon as he/she will know best what you should expect based upon the exact injury and treatment rendered.

Generally no: If you underwent labral repair and joint otherwise intact would expect resolution of pain. Persistent pain suggests that underlying bony abnormalities that likely contributed to development of the labral tearing may have not been adequately addressed. Alternatively ongoing pain may be related to early arthritic changes of the joint which really can't be corrected with arthroscopy.
