I got my hip MRI report back today! I have gluteal tendinopathy and high grade hamstring partial tears on both right and left hips!!! Explains a lot of the pain that is NOT tied to my lumbar spine! I’m not sure what causes this and when but no doctor EVER suggested looking at my hips! Since I have had this pain for some time, I may need debridement surgery to repair the long standing tears and then PT. Some sites suggest PT may be enough but when I read a report from Massachusetts General Hospital, it mentioned that long term tears may do better with surgery then PT. I will go back to the Orthopedic doctor and see what they suggest as next steps. I believe an orthopedic surgeon can repair the hamstring tears but wonder if they would have to do them separately or if they can do them at the same time.
