They can also occur in divers, as evidenced by Cook. See Diagnosing Shoulder Labral Tears. You may also feel clicking and popping sensations in your shoulder—as Cook reportedly did, which prompted her second shoulder surgery. Indeed, detecting a labral tear can be difficult because these symptoms are similar to other shoulder injuries, such as a rotator cuff or biceps injury. For this reason, an MRI scan is often performed to confirm the diagnosis.
See Labrum Tear Treatments. Recovery time from a labral tear varies, but you should expect it to take several months. However, as Cook has demonstrated, patience and persistence pay off.

So looks like that the ongoing hip pain I've been having for years actually will never heal unless I get some repair surgery. The right hip tore when I was doing kick drills in the pool, the left just over time. Due to health insurance issues I gotta get this done by mid November. Luckily my last race of the season is on the 30th this month.
Going to a hip specialist in the Bay Area thats with my insurance. So how long should I expect to be out of commission? I'm obviously hoping for not too long. Ideally I get this done the 1st or 2nd week of october so some of the recovery time from the surgery also coincides with my annual time of no training altogether weeks.
The hip doctor also mentioned that to try to prevent it from happening again he will shave of a little bit of bone, not sure if that'll result in more recovery time needed.
I also heard that they cant do both hips at the same time a week or so apart , if so that's a bummer. I've read other threads about this issue but very few are about the recovery time. So thanks in advance for the responses. Quote Reply. Post 2 of 31 views. Had both hips done 6 months apart in Labral repair plus bone debridement for FAI. I'm 40 so age may play a factor as well as how much damage you have.
My Labral damage was moderate and I had it taken care of before arthritis would have kicked in. Follow you rehab protocol religiously and don't return to training too quickly. Best of luck.

I'm not a dr, nor do I play one on TV, but I've got labral tears - got one in my left hip and left shoulder and probably one right side too - it's just I've never had MRIs on the right side so who knows?
And if you've ever done a martial art that involved high kicking, trained deep squats heavy, or done a lot of overhead stuff, like oh, I don't know, swimming, you've probably got them too. What I have been told is that labral tears are not not always the thing causing the pain. From the pics I've had mine for some time.
I exacerbated the hip one last year doing olympic lifting and for a time could barely walk. But a shot of cortisone under ultrasound sorted it out and after three months being careful with it there haven't been any issues since. It just gets everything working properly and lets the hips work as hips not as core stabilizers which helps stop further damage.

She's swimming masters right now with a pull buoy. A week ago she was down to one crutch, and now she's walking very slowly without crutches. She was at about 8 weeks for her first ride outside at VERY low wattage on pancake flat roads, and 10 weeks when she was beginning her walk-job progression 1min jog, 3min walk, five times through before she had the right hip done.
And the doc is right; can't do both hips, as you need one good leg to have any mobility as part of the rehab process.
My wife had the neck of the femur as well as the edge of the hip shaved as part of her surgery, as well as the labrum reattached which is something that Dr. Philippon is known world over for Really, this is something you do NOT want to rush. Not unless you want to have another surgery to repair it.
Rest, ice, circumduction, CPM. It's gonna be boring as hell and frustrating, but there's an end line. DM me with any other questions.
Like I tell my wife, it's a mile, an inch at a time. Good luck I'm actually getting this queued up for a piece in LAVA. Post 5 of 31 views. Thanks for the responses, much appreciated. I do remember hearing during the olympics that Gay did get his right hip done, glad its not totally uncommon. Post 6 of 31 views. Both of mine are torn as well. There are strength exercises that you can do to alleviate pain and limit any worsening of the injury. I previously asked for exercise recommendations on this forum and there were several helpful responses.
Try searching for that thread. Re: Hip labral tears [slimfast] [ In reply to ] Quote Reply. Post 7 of 31 views. I have had three of these surgeries in the last two years, and no I don't have three hips had a do over. Both of my hips had the CAM impingement, which require reshaping the femoral head. As others have said take it slow initially, lots of pool walking.
I rode all summer but could only ride about an hour and had discomfort. Getting frequent massage right now and it seems to be helping. I am hoping my issues are scare tissue, tight muscles and tendons.
I was advised to start another long round of aleve to knock down the inflamation to help allow things to heal. I need some encouraging words people. Post 8 of 31 views. It's likely a needed surgery. After the doc called and asked how I felt I said not only did it not relieve the pain, but it felt worse. He asked if the guy who did it had trouble getting the injection into the hip itself, I honestly said I wasn't sure because I do not know how a good hip injection goes.
If not treated, though, you might find a torn labrum can become debilitating and prevent you from swimming. Surgery is certainly an option for a torn labrum, but because of the recovery period required and the risk of repeat injury, some swimmers prefer to try nonsurgical methods first.
The shoulder labrum is a cartilage disc in your shoulder attached to the socket. That thick cartilage around the ball of your shoulder joint helps it to move freely and works with the cartilage from the humerus bone. There are also some tendons, like those from the bicep, that attach to the labrum. There are many different ways a labrum can tear.
It could simply fray through repetitive motion. Symptoms of a torn labrum include pain in your shoulder, especially when your arm is overhead; a clicking or grinding sound or feeling in your shoulder; and potentially instability and weakness in the shoulder.
A torn labrum can be diagnosed with some basic tests from your doctor and imaging, such as an MRI or a CT-arthrogram. However, there can be misdiagnoses or missed small tears. Some athletes find simply adjusting their activity or even their stroke can help relieve symptoms. For serious labral tears, surgery may be necessary.
Many nonsurgery options are actually attempts to strengthen the muscles around the tear and adapt to take pressure off the weak area, though it depends on what kind of tear you have and how severe it is.
