A member asked:

I have some symptoms of a hip labral tear but the mri came back normal. i have been doing therapy for 4 weeks now with no results. what do you think?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

MRI results: Clinical symptoms are far more correct than MRI or x-ray results. Those studies may not always pick up an anatomical abnormality as often as one would think. If therapy is not doing it then maybe a visit back to an orthopedic specialist is indicated. He/she may recommend surgery to definitively get an answer to your symptoms.
