SPC Kaitlyn Adair 6820934 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;ve been experiencing pain in my left hip for about a year and half now and have struggled getting treatment or having it taken seriously. I&#39;ve tried all the conservative treatment they could think of including profiles, physical therapy, injections, but none have truly helped. I finally got an MRI which showed a labrum tear and tendonitis in my hip, but no FAI. <br /><br />The army doc basically told me my only options are more injections, physical therapy, or pills so I went to another doctor for a second opinion and they suggested surgery to repair the tear and any other damage they found. I&#39;d like to hear about what others have experienced with this surgery in the army and if it will result in a medboard. What is the recovery process after hip labrum tear surgery and will I be medboarded as a result of the surgery? 2021-03-13T16:42:41-05:00 SPC Kaitlyn Adair 6820934 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;ve been experiencing pain in my left hip for about a year and half now and have struggled getting treatment or having it taken seriously.

You may not have control of your core causing distended stomach for a few days till everything re-strengthens, but over all the recovery isn’t to taxing and if you wish to stay in the army it’s very possible if that is what you choose, but I’m sure a doctor will tell you if your able to stay in or not. Hope this helps Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 13 at 2021 8:41 PM 2021-03-13T20:41:18-05:00 2021-03-13T20:41:18-05:00 CSM Charles Hayden 6821540 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1353653" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1353653-spc-kaitlyn-adair">SPC Kaitlyn Adair</a> Please take care of your body. At the age of 87, I do wish I had been more judicious and careful as to how I used my (then), strengths!

We all know that uncle needs (even back in my ancient time) lean mean fighting machines. Uncle isn&#39;t gonna just kick you out. However, if you&#39;re not up to what you should be, you put yourself in danger and also those around you. I ended up with shoulder impingement, had surgery, and got a right arm that pretty much ended up having trouble lifting a gallon of milk. They let me finish up my last year of my enlistment-but that was it. Oh well, 25 years was a good run.

I have seen Soldiers who have the same injury have different outcomes. I have a labrum tear in my shoulder. I didn&#39;t need surgery but I pretty much rehabbed myself. It took a long time but I have pretty much full use of my left arm.
