Yes, try the treatments. I have had lots of physical therapy and osteopathic manipulation. I love osteopathic treatments! You could get the fascia released around the hip and this could help. BUT... Labral tears and structural issues with the hip such as femoroacetabular impingement can be very hard...

Hope your results are as awesome as mine! Who did your surgery?

Also to answer the question on what the MRI with contrast is like, the injection is into the joint (not the arm).

P.S. - Here is an awesome yahoo group for femoral acetabular impingement. There are like 4000 people on here and they can provide feedback on doctors, treatments, etc. and answer questions. I've found it very helpful. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Fe ... pingement/

I went in to Stanford University for treatment on the femoroacetabular impingement (pincer impingement) and labral tear in February, 2012. Woke up in recovery and my pudendal pain was - GONE!!!!!!! I'm present...

He's a wonderful doctor. Every single thing he's said has been correct. I've been a patient for several years. I had nerve blocks from him. It was extremely helpful. He only had to do it once and the constant numbness went away. I do still have pudendal issues, but they are not from an entrapment. I...

I'm late to post on this topic, but I've had some prolotherapy. I'm still doing it. Yes, it's expensive. It's usually a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist who does it. There are different types of doctors who do it, though. I've spent about $1,500 and my illium no longer "recline&q...
