Have you talked with your orthopedic specialist about debridement surgery? My bilateral gluteal tendinopathy and bilateral hamstring tears are not getting better on their own and pt is painful (I’m 55 and have no idea how I got this). It is hard for me to go up stairs, stand up from a seated position, lift legs to put pants and socks on, etc. and wonder if I may need surgery to help repair the tears/attachments for new healing. Certain movement really can be uncomfortable/painful and I don’t feel stable when I walk.

I had a hamstring tear and had difficulty sitting and doing my fun activities. I have been seeing my non-orthopedic doctor and after a time, was referred to the ortho surgeon who specializes in the "butt" issues that come. I had a tendon repair and debridement. There was a good bit of "stuff" removed. Post recovery, much better. I can sit (probably more than I should) and enjoying new activities. I had the surgery at 62, so it might be a way to go. Do the rehab, stay active and listen to and follow directions.
