Thank you for sharing.i had a hip replacement in summer but continue to limp, need a cane, cannot do lateral lifts. An mri shows total tear of gluteus medius and gluteus minimus detached from the bone. I have little pain and my walking without a Limp has improved significantly with physiotherapy. I am being encouraged to have a repair surgery but at the same time I am told that I will see marginal improvement- still limp, still need a cane but it would reduce pain if I have it. I am 78, already lost 18 months in pain waiting for diagnosis, surgery and recovery. I don’t know what alternatives there are to surgery but frankly I cannot afford to be down for another 6-12 months. Prp may be an option, I am open to suggestions
