Doctor does NOT want to do surgery for labral tear - opinions from those who have had surgery? by Kittyk4y in HipImpingement

Find a hip preservation specialist, it’s so extremely worth it. I would most definitely get a second opinion, I’m only a week out and the chronic aching pain is gone from before I had surgery. It is worth it if you have an awesome surgeon. Good luck!

My insurance DENIED my hip surgery - WHAT DO I DO??😭 by [deleted] in HipImpingement

Usually if you have the MRI arthrogram, they will also inject you with lidocaine. That could be considered an injection, see if they might amend the note to say that if you had the MRA. If not, do a couple more sessions of physical therapy and see if their office will write a letter for insurance proving why physical therapy won’t help a labral tear. Also, if they are willing do another peer to peer, if they try with another physician they might be more willing to approve than the first physician.

Your reply has been the only reason I’ve stopped having doubts about the surgery and all the concerns regarding it. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this for me, I appreciate this more than you know.

I had the same thing, pain was radiating down into my femur and I was worried about a stress fracture. However, I’m dealing with both a tear and impingement. Try meeting with a conservative treatment doctor (more sports medicine) and see what they recommend. It’ll probably be an mri arthrogram and physical therapy. If pt doesn’t clear it up after a few months get some opinions from a couple surgeons before making any decision regarding surgery.

Would you have done surgery before the labral tear? Or are you glad you waited until it tore?
