Hip arthroscopy: "agony" is a strong word so if you are still having this degree of pain, i would have a repeat MRI with contrast (assuming you have no allergy to dye) performed.

No: Hip arthroscopy to remove injured tissue (labral or cartilage injury) should relieve pain within 2 -12 weeks progressively toward little to no pain. Repair of a labral tear or removal of bone due to impingement should also show progressively diminished pain within 1-3 months. Persistent agonizing pain points toward new or persistent pathology within the hip/pelvis/back. Further evaluation needed.

No: You should visit your surgeon and discuss. If pain persists you may need a second opinion.

Can be: It is not abnormal to take 4-6 months and even a year for the pain to go away. However, I am concerned about you being in agony. This should be evaluated by your surgeon.
