Options: The other option to consider would be a steroid injection into the joint. If you have an MRI with a positive labral tear, surgery can be quite successful. It is a long recovery though.

Hi, surgery is a great option if u have an experienced hip specialist. The thing to consider is that u don’t want to ONLY get the labrum repaired. A very important part of the surgery is resection of the cam lesion (this is not fully understood by all docs). If the cam is not removed u will continue to have pain and impingement, get re-tear of labrum, and develop arthritis at an early age.
