[|Human|] i have been suffering from chronic hip pain for 2 years. 4 weeks ago I had an MRI of my left hip and the results were as follows: There is appreciated to be quite extensive tearing of the labrum extending from the anterior to posterior margin superolaterally, the tear anteriorly having quite a globular configuration. No paralabral cyst, no evidence of cam type deformity. I have since seen my Dr and he explained that this is unfortunately inoperable. My tears are from hyper-flexibility in the joint and cutting away the shredded labrum will leave only a fraction left which will cause more pain. I am thinking of getting a second opinion as his only suggestion was for PT to strengthen the pelvis muscles.
[|AI|]  Dear friend surgery is the only alternative to the condition but if in the opinion of your surgeon is inoperable it must be, surgeons are very adventurous by nature and will attempt the impossible most of the time and succeed, and if even then is he/she feels conservative management is better than you must trust them very few say so, physiotherapy with proper pain management will give you fair amount of recovery in due course.
