This forum and the information contained is a blessing to me. Seriously!
About 25 years ago I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident (slammed into a car at 80 km/hr). While there were no broken bones, there were brain injuries and the seam and stitching on the right leg of my leather trousers disintegrated (almost as if my leg expanded enough to pop the seam completely.) Since then I’ve been in constant pain with my right hip, getting worse month by month. Each Doctor and Ortho I see sends me off for Xrays, bone scan, ultrasound, find nothing and recommend physio. Been there, done that, no results. I recently asked my GP for a re-assessment and while waiting for the appointment, came across information about Labral tearing. The xrays he ordered of course came back negative and he was not inclined to refer me to an Ortho. Good thing I went prepared with papers on Labral tears, as he knew nothing about it. And now with the information contained in this forum on who can do the proper assessment and repair work, I’m finally feeling hopeful after 25 years of pain and leading a restricted life.
Thank you all for the information shared!!
