@spillihped I have been diagnosed with a gluteal tendon full thickness tear in September 25. I had 3 orthopedic surgeons give me three different treatment plans. I have been doing PT for 9 months. 2 months ago I got a PRP injection. Sometimes I’m able to walk without a crutch on flat surfaces. Walking long distance is hard. I go back to the surgeon in 2 weeks to recheck a new mri and determine if surgery is the best route. I see that the outcome if you have fatty infiltration will decrease your chances completed recovery. I wish we knew what caused this so other women do not have to suffer
Is it lack of hormones after menopause, increased cortisol levels, I also have scoliosis. My pain used to just be in my glut and hip , however now it radiates to my knees and ankles. I don’t know anyone who had a gluteal tendon repair surgery. I look forward to hearing from anyone who is recovering, or has recovered from a moderate tear .
