Torn Labrum

Acetabular Impingement seems to be the culprit. The excess bone from a cam type of impingement likely rubbed against the labrum over time and eventually tore.

From what doctor told me, doing deep squats with low weight was probably what finally did me in. Funny because I was lifting really heavy on squats and decided that wasn’t good for my back long term, so I dropped weight significantly to go lower and possibly increase my range of motion and flexibility in my legs.

The pain comes and goes, but sitting Indian-style, bending over to put on socks/tie shoes, and walking up steps or uphill are most painful things.

He has a long list of professional athletes he has as clients for labrum tears. This is a surgery he does often and probably one of the best in the world. Jump on Southwest Airlines go see him.

The MRI showed the tear in a couple different views. Doctor said it was a “pretty significant” tear. Not sure how big it is. I’ll have to go check back through my MRI scans and see if any views say how big it is.

Got the call yesterday that the ultrasound-guided injection I got last week was used as a confirmation of the tear. They injected nerve blocker with cortisone. I felt great over the weekend, but pain started coming back which is exactly what he wanted to see before pulling trigger on surgery.

It’s going to be tough to not be active for a handful of months, but if I can reduce the lain I’ve been feeling, then I’m going to do it.

That’s the only person you need to see for surgery. Good luck
