Usually occurs in people like athletes, runners etc and can cause pain. Best is to see an Ortho. specializing in hip for best opinion. Good chance you may not need surgery.

Yes you can have impingement without having a labral tear. Surgery is the last resort. You should try multiple nonsurgical treatment before contemplating surgical intervention.
