@ennaoj44 Thanks. I'm in the hands (literally) of an excellent physical therapist. The gluteus medius (and minimus) aren't actually torn, there's just an awful lot of inflammation and swelling where they attach to the hip bone. The labrum has a full tear, but mostly symptomless. Go figure! Mostly 60 seconds balancing on left leg, 25 to 30 with maximum of 40 seconds - so far - on right/affected leg. Above average for 76 years old, from what I read. I have done some checking on Google and Chatgpt as well. Thanks for advice.
