Hello I had a torn labrum in my left hip due to a work vehicle accident in 2018, since than I had the labrum repaired than I THR in 2021, I continued to have sharp groin pain when sitting to long than when standing .i had several cortisone injections in that area but they didn’t help much, I had a couple hip reversion doctors tell me I have bursitis from I MRI I had in 2023 they recommended I have I procedure called a iliopsoas released “ the doctor would go back in with a tool to cut and to lengthen the iliopsoas and hopefully by doing so it would help with the pain . I had that done at Mayo December of 2024 so far it seems a little better I have been doing PT since February of 2025 I am getting stronger in the legs and hip but that deep hip pain is just stubborn and does not want to go away so with that said I am having another cortisone injection in the next week or two we will see how that goes but myself and my PT feels this is the best it will get . The surgeon did say it can be a whole year to get the full benefit from the iliopsoas procedure that will be December of this year so we will see what happens . Thank you and good luck

My friend had a labrum tear like you describe about 10 years ago - she always had some level of pain, but now she said it "has faded into the background" as she gets older (past 80) with other issues.

I’d hate to go thru therapy all over again.
