labram tear
Hi mate,
i had arthroscopy for a labrum tear in october. It depends on how bad it is to be honest as how long it takes to recover. If its a simple laberal tear you should be back to running and stuff in about 12 weeks. But if like mine and its more complex longer.
If you need to know any specifics just drop me a pm mate.

i have that in both my hips, mines acute and didn't get diagnosed very early and i now have spondalitis in both my hips. Mine started after i had sciatica and it made me walk oddly which caused the tear much like it can in a sports injury. Avoid the cortisone injections if you can, they hurt like a bitch and they honestly don't work for long. My physio told me if mine had been diagnosed earlier, anti inflamotary drugs and rest would have helped, but don't rush it. I am ok doing a 12 mile walk with dogs 3 times a week and general walking i find i am in more pain when i sit down after a walk and relax at end of the day, just take it steady though don't rush, you don't want to end up like me having hip replacements at 39
Found this and hope it gives you more info mate.
The treatment of hip labral tears is evolving quite quickly. Only a few years ago this injury was rarely recognized. Now it is becoming increasingly common to hear of athletes having their "hip scoped" to have their labral tear treated.
In general, the treatment of a hip labral tear usually starts off with some simple steps. Typical early treatments of a hip labral tear include:
Rest
The torn labrum in the hip can cause inflammation around the joint. Allowing the inflammation to settle down may alleviate the symptoms of the labral tear and allow return to activities.
Anti-Inflammatory Medications
Anti-inflammatory medications can be helpful in diminishing some of the inflammation in the joint. If the inflammation subsides, the symptoms may resolve.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapists can use various techniques to improve hip function by strengthening and balancing the muscles around the hip joint.
Cortisone Injection
A cortisone injection is useful not only as a treatment of the labral tear, but it can also be performed at the same time as a diagnostic injection the help determine the cause of the hip pain.
If these treatments fail to alleviate the pain associated with a hip labral tear, a hip arthroscopy procedure may be considered. During a hip arthroscopy, your surgeon places a small camera into the hip joint to see the labral tear. Your surgeon can also evaluate the cartilage of the joint, important ligaments, and other structures.
Treatment of the labral tear usually consists of shaving out the torn portion of the labrum. In some larger tears, located in an accessible area of the joint, a repair of the labrum may be attempted. Recovery from a hip arthroscopy depends on the extent of work that needs to be completed, but usually lasts 6 to 12 weeks.

my brother had this aswell, family genes at work i think as my grandfather had this problem too many years ago before they actually recognised this as an actual seperate issue. My brother has now had hip replacements in both hips, they didn't do it at same time they tend to do one at a time so you still have one good leg to hobble about on, saying that he is now back on his dirt bikes flying about like a looney as he always did. Only thing i would honestly say over and over again is JUST SAY NO, to the cortisone injections they are usual intermuscular they hurt like holy hell and they honestly rarely work for long if at all, and its a shit load of pain to go through for not much relief. If you can get a physio, to be honest the 20 mins you get a week is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike or tits on a fish but if you take the excercises they give you and make sure you actually do them at home it will help. Rest i'm afraid is honestly the best thing, although i am incapable of sitting on my arse doing nothing with 3 kids a husband and 3 mad spaniels, and i know you have dogs to work and excercise also but you have to try and take it steady as you can. It's doubtful they will do both at the same time though, usually be one then a few months after the other one.
Again thanks all.
Knash thanks, thats answered some more questions.
Annie, i am taking your advice and not giving the cortisone a go. Your not the only one who has said this to me, it seems very little benefit. Did you have any probs with the anti inflammatorys, their killing me?

i'm a bad example of drugs i'm afraid mali, i am alergic to even myself i think, and i found them intollerable, they just made me sick, really sick and i had to give in. Try heat wraps and the like, i survived a year with a damned hot water bottle down my jeans on my back when i had the sciatica, the hips well i just plod along, some days it's really awful and i can't even sit down and get comfortable, went to ballet a few weeks back and was in agony just sitting down, then i get weeks where i am free of it. If the drugs are making you feel bad, stop them and ask for an alternative don't suffer with being ill aswell
Try to get a course of steroids which are anti-inflammatory Many steroids, specifically glucocorticoids, reduce inflammation or swelling by binding to glucocorticoid receptors. These drugs are often referred to as corticosteroids. Worth a go if you are suffering with the anelgesic type.

I have the same problem, on both sides although I do need steroids anyway. I am not having mine surgically repaired at any point in the near future but can understand your discomfort! I also am recovering from a fractured collarbone - it has healed a bit wonky as I wouldn't keep it still lol. Medics are the WORST patients lol
