I dont know what THR. Sounds like YOU are in urgent need of an MRI from a new surgeon or perhaps your old surgeon. I do know from experience that once a surgeon does a surgery and the patient is not better, most surgeons would prefer to ref that patient out rather than deal with them or their problem - at least that's been my humble experience. Get the MRI on your hip. But Get several readings.. I had one MRI and with 3 people, 2 read something completely different....only greater trochanter bursistus rather than a severaly torn, retracted, and atrophied glute med. Good luck

THR is total hip replacement. I've had multiple MRIs. Hip surgeon says the problem is my L4-5 nerve. I've treated that with epidurals and ablation and it does help some of the pain but it's bandaids. I've been to 2 other hip docs. They advised against surgery for tendons as well as my original surgeon a month ago. I even went to the Hospital of Special Surgery in NYC. No one wants to deal with it.
