I had surgery almost exactly a month ago and am doing well. I had a labral tear (almost torn in two) in my right hip. They were able to repair the tear and shaved a bit of the bone (to make sure the problem that caused the tear does not return). My surgeon was Dr. Ayeni out of Hamilton and he was wonderful. It was a long, frustrating wait…6 months for the consult and over a year for the surgery (I know the waits are longer now), but in hindsight worth it. I am now in physio and am recovering well. Had 2 1/2 weeks on crutches (no weight bearing), and over the past weeks have progressed from one crutch to just a cane. I still get stiff but am not experiencing anywhere near the pain I had previous to the surgery. I am not back to work yet (i work in childcare). I was worried like you that I had an issue with my other hip as well but after having an MRI with dye done on it, my surgeon has said that although there may be something there, it is not surgical at this time and he thinks with strengthening, it will not cause me much trouble. Hope this information helps you.
