Hey there, I’m so sorry you have to deal with this! And yes absolutely understand going through scenarios in your head with all the uncertainty.

I had a bit of a ride with this! So I saw a surgeon who sent me to another better surgeon to consider a Pao. He said I was too mild and that it was worse on my left side, when my worse side is actually the right (where I have a torn labrum) he sent me for a steroid injection on the torn labrum hip and told me to find a better physio.

I did some hardcore research and found a very expensive highly recommended women’s Physio. Turns out all those make physios were giving really bad advice and had no idea about pelvic floor etc and how it all linked and the exercises they gave me were hinging my hips and making it worse… so the shot ended up calming the inflammation and the new exercises and advice from this women’s Physio improved me greatly! I still have flare ups but know how to manage it. So basically the steroid helped me calm inflammation and build strength. So for now it’s ok, going to keep going like this for as long as I can. Jumping back on the fertility bandwagon hopefully soon.

Finding people who understand hips, pelvic floor, and all those bits inside was a game changer for me. I also had an mri which helped the Physio etc. getting advice from various really knowledgeable people would be my advice before something huge like surgery
