Hip: Mri is not a perfect test. You may need an arthrogram to figure this out. If it were my hip i would consider going to see dr. Phillipon in vail, co. He pioneered many of these types of hip surgeries.

Hip arthroscopy: It is important to keep exercising after surgery. A small injury can cause the muscles around the hip to become weak and the result is renewed pain. Arthritis evident at the time if surgery it will affect how well and how long you do well after surgery. If you have been exercising and the pain persists then you may want to see your orthopedic surgeon.
