Im 43. Until last summer I had never had surgery. I have been dealing with pain and attributed much of it to recovery of hernia surgery last summer.
Over the past months I've been just dealing with it. I've had my leg start locking up. Sometimes I would be climbing bleachers and blame it on a muscle. Running to get the ball with my son and it would lock. Getting out of a car or climbing in my truck it would just randomly lock. A few weeks ago I realized I can't cross my right leg.
Today I went to the doctor. Yes amid the corona scare. The doctor told me my leg may have locked down. Doctor ordered an X-ray of my hip. I called the hospital and they are not allowing anyone or anything that is non essential. I called a friend who is an orthopedic pa. Friend asked me questions and told me that they will get me an X-ray but plan for an MRI. Told me more than likely I have a labral tear. This will require surgery. Of course it will be a few weeks before I can do anything.
I asked my friend if this could be carry related. Thankfully he said no. I asked because carry has been painful for quite a while. I was worried that carry could have made it worse. AIWB hurts due to the pressure on inner hip, pocket carry can be uncomfortable due to pressure on my thigh. IWB is actually better because it puts pressure on my hip but becomes uncomfortable after a bit.
I'm just hoping at the end of this journey I can return to being able to carry comfortably.
Has anyone dealt with a labral tear in hip or shoulder?
