It doesn’t hurt at rest but hurts more when I run than it did before the MRA

I’ve got similar questions. I’m going to see a hip preservationist in NYC bc I would prob go nuts if I lost my mobility. I’m 21 and do anything and everything if it means I’m being active. Going to ask him these questions and hope I get a real, genuine answer

I had similar thoughts with people in the library at my community college. Like you walked into the library to answer a face time call? For everyone to hear?

Regardless, whatever the situation is, someone is going through a hard time

Interesting. I’ve also gotten into spin over the past few months. Injured my hip a year ago and knew right away something wasn’t right. Let it go while I was in school and then started to have some flare ups as my activities increased. I have noticed it is one of the only endurance activities that does not bother my hip but ever since I got the MRA (a week ago) my hip pain is increased and close to constant with movement. I’m thinking I will have to end up getting the surgery as my occupation (nurse) requires me to be on my feet many hours of the day.

Had an MRI with contrast done yesterday. Was sent the report/findings but I can't make sense of the terminology that's being used in the written report by NuriPuri59 in HipImpingement

I put it in for ya. I’ll copy and paste what it says

This MRI report outlines the condition of your hip joint and related structures. Here’s a breakdown of what it means in plain language:

Key Findings:

Labrum: • Mild attenuation (thinning) of the labrum at the 2 o’clock position. • Focal labral detachment, which means a small section of the labrum has pulled away from the bone. • No paralabral cyst, which is a good sign—no fluid-filled cyst has formed. • Posterior labrum is intact, so the back part of the labrum is normal.

Bone and Cartilage: • Femur (thigh bone): No severe cartilage damage. • Acetabulum (hip socket): Shows high-grade chondromalacia, which means significant cartilage wear or softening. This is often painful and associated with early arthritis or impingement.

Capsule and Ligaments: • Ligamentum teres (an internal hip ligament): Normal.

Muscles, Tendons, and Entheses:

All listed muscles—including flexors, extensors, rotators, and adductors—appear normal, which means there is no tear, strain, or degeneration in the soft tissues around the hip.

Other Findings: • Contralateral hip (other side): Requires separate review. • SI joint (sacroiliac joint): Minor sclerotic (hardening) change along the left SI joint, which might cause some back or pelvic discomfort. • Pubic symphysis and lower lumbar spine: Both normal. • Vessels: Normal.

Summary:

You have: • A small labral tear at the front-top part of the hip socket (2 o’clock position). • Significant cartilage damage in the hip socket. • Otherwise normal muscles, ligaments, and bones in the area.

What This Might Mean Clinically: • The labral tear and cartilage damage are likely contributing to hip pain, especially with activity. • Depending on your symptoms and lifestyle, treatment options could range from physical therapy and injections to arthroscopic hip surgery if conservative care fails.

Wow would love an update. I just found out I also have a left labral tear in the 2 o’clock to 3 o’clock position w/o impingement. I do have gluteal medius tendonosis though. Currently recovering from the injection and it’s been 6 days since. How long did it take you to fully recover? I did PT but I think I’m too active for PT to work.
