I am beginning to think that the hip is much more complex than I realized and that doctors can only guess and make suggestions...those guesses aren't always right. I've also read a lot about various hip injuries and it seems that the hip can take a long time to heal! Not really what I wanted to hear, especially since I was trying to train for a 70.3! I hope you have better luck than I have had in getting answers and getting back to 100% soon!Yes- I think you are right. It took a massage therapist, several chiropractors and several PTs to fix me. And yes, it has been eight months of pain free and I have run 2 50ks, 1 50miler, a few marathons and no pain has come back.
The description of your pain, however, sounds quite different than mine. So it might be a completely different diagnosis/cause.
Keep trying different techniques, doctors, etc.; be patient and be pushy. You will heal!
