Finally got an MRI of my hip after 5 months of gaslighting. Labral tear in two places with ball of hip and socket now misshapen for having been bone on bone for 5 months. Arthritis now formed also. Also gluteal tendinitis/osis.

Flattened hip ball can lead to avascular necrosis of hip which I didn't know was a concern of my PT.

Hip replacement is the fix at this point. Gaslighting has repercussions but I guess only for me. Found a good guy locally. Hip injection today but surgery in trigger finger Tuesday caused by crutch use for years. Probably other hand 2 fingers too before hip.

At least I know what it is now. So.m7ch for the hip guy who refused me 2+ months ago. Might file a complaint as he woyld never give me a reason to reject me - but I'm way better off with this surgeon so I guess it all works out the way its supposed to. Could easily be thanks giving before surgery but meanwhile I'm so grateful to my sister for paying to put my WC hoist in the car. Even after all this, I'm still living with CRPS which is out of control.

Ok. All good news. Not looking forward to any of it but as we all know, even a not great diagnosis beats not knowing for what can feel like the rest of your life. Some of you have been doing this for years. Get a hip mri and have them look for a labrum tear. My pain has been all in my buttock. The pain of it can be present in different places. Hip, groin, butt etc. Wish me luck on the injection today.

If you had one id love to hear how it went or hints about it.
