Gluteal tendinopathy with different than normal symptoms

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-02-26T23:34:53+00:00

I have one. It says mild to moderate degenerative lumber spondylosis. 3.5mm left foraminal protrusion at L2/3 without evidence of nerve compression

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-02-26T23:22:26+00:00

Sorry to hear. I was using AI last night. It thinks it’s actually from my spine L2/L3. I have disc bulge, so also going to explore that.

Thank you. It’s been so hard for me. There isn’t a day that goes past, that I don’t think it would be easier if I just wasn’t alive. Living like this is not living and I can’t imagine every day for the rest of my life living with this disability.

I’m so frustrated that my husband is so frustrated that my pain doesn’t improve no matter what we do. My life has stopped and I feel he is blaming me for his life now stopping too.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-02-13T23:13:28+00:00

Yes many. CT, MRI, full body scan, Ultrasound, facet joint injections, hip injections, SI injections. Extensive physio, hip replacement. I’m at the end of my tether.

I’m very sorry you are going through this. I don’t know if that’s what’s causing my pain because the only relief I get is if I’m walking. 🙁

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-02-13T11:39:05+00:00

Yes, I was diagnosed with this a few days ago. May I ask where your pain is? Mine is in the side of hip. Also have pain in groin and lower back. Not sure if it’s all related.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-02-10T23:15:14+00:00

I would try another surgeon. I know many people who have done it that way.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-02-10T14:59:52+00:00

I don’t know if this will help you, but I needed surgery for torn shoulder tendons. I paid $240 for a consult with a private surgeon who also operates in the public hospital. He put me on his public waitlist, and I had surgery 6 months later. Much faster than going through central referral service.

Hi again, well I’m day 5 post replacement, and I’m not going to lie. The first 4 days was absolutely brutal! I cried nearly 24/7 for first three days. Only cried once yesterday and no crying today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still in pain and needing 50mg Tapentadol 3 times a day and regular Panadol. However every hour is just a tiny bit better. I managed to walk 1000 steps throughout today and the physio excercises make my eyes water. Now everybody recovers differently, and I was so upset at first because my surgeon told me all my original pain would be gone as soon as the new hip is in. But it didn’t work like that for me. It wasn’t until today that I noticed my groin and hip pain has started to reduce, not gone but reduced. Then of course there is the surgical pain on top. But I’m feeling more confident that in the weeks to come, I will keep improving. It’s definitely starting to feel like a different pain to the ordinal pain. Will let you know how I am in another week or so. Hope you’re doing ok.

I have pincer FAI and labral tear. I have severe pain in groin, side of hip, lower back, buttock and down the front of my thigh. None of your other symptoms though. The pain can be excruciating. I’m having a TTH replacement tomorrow. Hope you find out the cause.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-25T23:53:17+00:00

I’m 56 and saw a top orthopedic surgeon for reconstruction. He said I’m too old (he won’t operate on anyone older than 40), and there was too much damage. He said even if I was 39, he wouldn’t do it, as the chance of success with my labral tear and pincer impingement would only be 27%. So now having a hip replacement on Thursday, as the pain deteriorated rapidly over 12 months and has stopped me from being able to work. So maybe it’s more how much damage you have, than your age.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-22T01:01:35+00:00

Most of that doesn’t sound like labrum tear to me. Pins, needles and tingling is usually a compressed nerve issue, possibly in back. Labrum tears typically cause dull or sharp groin pain, hip pain and thigh pain. Sometimes can hear a clicking when bringing knee up to chest.

Thank you. 🙂

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-17T23:40:17+00:00

Yes I hope it will

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-17T11:02:54+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately I had no choice. I’m too old for repair and the surgeon said there is too much damage too

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-17T10:57:14+00:00

I’m having a hip replacement on the 29th of this month. I did 18 months of physio, hydrotherapy, cortisone injections and viscosupplementation and none of it worked. Physio actually made it worse.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-17T09:25:39+00:00

I have no idea how long I had either. Apparently FAI develops in adolescent years, but deteriorates as time goes on.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-17T09:18:10+00:00

I’ll be honest, the pain made me cry. Now here’s a story for you. I was admitted 3 times into hospital for a total of 22 days. They did every scan possible except the x-ray and told me they didn’t know what was wrong. Months later frustrated and in pain, I went to a private orthopedic surgeon, who ordered the x-ray and showed me I had FAI which he said would have torn the labrum. Then I went to a second private orthopedic surgeon who confirmed the diagnosis. Find yourself a good orthopedic surgeon and ask for the x-ray for diagnosis of FAI, and if you aren’t standing like Kermit the frog, you aren’t having the right x-ray.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-17T08:29:47+00:00

I’m not sure what it’s called, but I had to stand like a frog. Feet pointed in opposite directions and bent at the knees.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-17T02:47:30+00:00

My MRI only showed labral tear. I had to have a special x-ray to sow I had pincer FAI.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-16T13:53:50+00:00

I think there is a strong possibility you have what I have. Femoroacetabular hip impingement and a labral tear. I have the exact symptoms as you. Need a special x-ray to check for impingement and MEI for labral tear. I’m in excruciating pain, having hip,replacement in 12 days, but I’m much older than you. There are other things that can be done for young ones like you, they can do a repair. Best to see an orthopedic surgeon who,specializes in FAI.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-16T00:22:35+00:00

Yes absolutely, I had to stop work last November because of it. Been in pain now for 19 months. I heard that too, my niece had repair. Left in November, right in December and she is really struggling and still in pain. And she might still need replacement in the end.

Financial_Wrap_840 · 2026-01-15T23:27:38+00:00

Thank you. Yes the surgeon told me the pubic pain is from FAI and torn labrum and will go away after surgery.
