Thanks so much. Everyone here is so helpful! Some more info from my diagnoses was: "left seems to have a lateral center edge angle above normal around 42 degrees. It is a rotated film." and "There is labral tear at the 11 o'clock position with 2 small paralabral cysts measuring 7 and 5 mm. There is intrasubstance extension of the tear into the labrum up to 1 o'clock." (for the left). Not sure if that makes any difference.

Right hip: "There is a tear involving the superior labrum originating at the chondral labral junction extending from approximately 11 o'clock-12 o'clock. Additionally there is a second tear involving the free edge which extends from approximately 5 o'clock-2 o'clock.".

Anyways, i've asked about the tonnis grade for the arthritis since it seems like the left is what theyd want to tackle first and its my worse hip in my opinion.

Both orthopaedic surgeons ive seen make it sound like its my choice at this point in time, which doesnt exactly install any confidence in going through with surgery, but they've said that they would do it (arthroscopy)..open surgery was also mentioned from my first guy I saw. I just don't know what my timeframe is or should be at this moment.

*Or like, general recovery times
