I have a complete tear of the gluteus minimus and medium tear and am scheduled for the tendon repair surgery on August 11. I’ve had the tear since December and it was a partial tear that has now developed to a complete tear. Had PT for 6 months with no relief. In pain all day now and walking on a cane. I am 72 yrs old and was very active before the tear in December. The ortho surgeon said it’s a 3 week recovery with a total recovery after 6 months. You should see an orthopedic surgeon and get an MRI to confirm the test. Good luck to you.
