Richlub, it is early but I think it is time for a third opinion.
You should be able to get an anesthesia injection that would tell you if pain is coming from the labral tear. Relief would be temporary but would help determine if the labral tear is causing the pain. It can be an office procedure if your physician has ultrasound equipment.
I have a labral tear causing pain and had the in office lidocaine injection. Steroid can be used that sometimes provides a few months of pain. I had relief from the lidocaine for six hours, so my injections was purely diagnostic.
I haven't had laminectomy, so I'm not really any help.
I wish you well.

Thank you. I had that performed about 8 weeks before spinal surgery. It did relieve some of the exterior hip pain, but didn't benefit my upper leg/groin area. So, the thought was the groin pain was being caused by the back issues, and the exterior hip by the labrum tears. Now, it's still not clear how much is attributable to my spinal conditions and how much to the tears. Are you scheduled for surgery. I was told not too bad? 3 he outpatient, 3 weeks of crutches and 3 mos should be better. Were you told the same ? I wish you good health.
