Yes, there is hope!
I opted for surgery (as I have probably already indicated earlier in this thread) after a couple of PRP injections that diodn't really help. That was almost a year ago, and although I am still not pain/dicomfort free, I am now getting back in to the world of tri. I did Taupo 70.3 (for a laugh really) and felt ok (although somewhat undertrained hence the 5:43 finish time) and I've been doing some bike racing too.
Still getting pain/discomfort/tightness so I need to get back on to stretching (gentle) and glides, and not do too much too soon. Gonna be 49 this year (eeeek!) and aiming for IMNZ 2019. We shall see.
To be honest, the worst of it now is sitting down for extended periods. Mostly with work I can get up and walk around, but I fly twice a week for an hour and a half each way, and after 45mins to an hour I get a touch sore...
But yes, there is hope. Just don't rush it. You will get better.
