Possible torn hip, need recommendations
Hi there! So I'm a teenage female with a suspected torn hip labrum. I have had hip pain for over a year, and as time has gone on the pain has gotten worse and my ROM has gotten limited (for instance I used to be able to bring my foot over my head with straight legs standing. I now can barely bring my leg to a 90° angle.) I finally got into Ortho about 2 weeks ago after an X-ray, which showed that bone wise I was fine. Ortho said my ROM and pain is concerning and pointing towards labral tear and he wants me to get an MRI with colour injection to check for said tear. The soonest I am able to get in (it is scheduled) for the MRI is June 25th. I am in wrestling for my school and Ortho said I was allowed to wrestle and to just play it off my hip and it's pain. However every time I get active at all I am in excruciating pain in my right hip. I just ordered a hip brace off Amazon to hopefully help with the ROM but I am wondering what recommendations anyone has for pain management and making my day-to-day life easier. I am unable to do squats or lunges properly and can only run short distances without being in a great deal of pain. It's a pain to get up and down stairs and it hurts to stand more than 15 minutes. I am also in the search for a job so I need to be able to be up and moving. Help please!!
