Had a labral repair done about 14 months ago. The surgeon reportedly achieved a good repair and said I have no evidence for arthritis. He expected me to do very well.

He also mentioned multiple times that I could expect to continue improving up to a year out.

Now, at 14 months I am not exactly where I'd like to be, despite being extremely diligent about PT.

I am mostly able to lift weights (have given up deep squats and contact sports) and walk up to a mile or so without symptoms.

But I still have aching pain when I sit for too long (which is a problem since I work a desk job). Plus, I had hoped to get back to hiking, but prolonged walking on uneven surfaces is really a challenge.

I am just wondering whether it is likely that I will continue to feel better as time goes on, or whether I should have expected to realize the full benefits of the surgery by this point.
