Exercise! I found myself in a similar condition having wonderful results after hip surgery for 10 years and then going back to the doctor thinking it was time for a new hip. I started an exercise program about two or three weeks ago and the pain is going away now because I’m strengthening the muscles at my hip.. They’re also can be scar tissue, which can also cause pain but no matter, exercise is strength strengthening the muscle muscles. I also take bioidentical hormones and amino acids and learn how to build muscle tissue back. It is not the easiest course and I hate exercise. However, for an hour, I sit on my stationary bike. I read through all the Mayo Clinic posts, and I tell everybody to exercise because it is the thing that really works and I’ve done everything over 30 years! And had many surgeries. Get referred if you don’t know how to do your own physical therapy so you learn and then modify it at home so you will stick with something that you like. Chair, yoga, yoga, Pilates, walking all those things will cause some pain, but eventually the muscle starts building and strengthening, and then the pain goes away. Good luck in the meantime do some acupuncture to help with pain relief.
