Hello! I have recently begun learning about TMS/MBS and was hoping to find some advice from others since I currently am having some difficulty with medical professionals.
In 2022 I tore my hip labrum on the left side of my body. I've recently had an MRI to verify it so I know this for a fact. I went to an orthopedic surgeon who explained this all to me and informed me of my options ranging from steroid injections to a procedure that would involve grinding down some of the bone in my hip to better facilitate hip bone movement. I can't remember the exact explanation but essentially he informed that the way my hip is structured leads to pain when I move since it's pinching a nerve or muscle. I can't quite remember which. He also informed me it'd take anywhere from 2-5 months to fully recover from this.
Of course this is quite intimidating for me here but I'm really on the fence about the whole thing. Physically speaking there isn't anything I'm aware of that I can't do. I've taken up yoga and the injury hasn't impeded my ability to perform any moves. In fact, I've gotten a bit of a reputation for my proficiency in these yoga poses since I would often show them to my physicians. I've also been informed by the orthopedist that he has seen many people with MRIs similar to mine that are entirely asymptomatic. This leads me to believe that the injury may be TMS but I'm not entirely sure. Whenever I broach the topic with doctors though I can tell they aren't sure what I am talking about and simply politely play along with my ideas without being able to firmly state they think I'm wrong which I find to be frustrating to put it mildly.
The pain still persists but is only exacerbated but particular movement patterns that "pull" or "stretch" on the hip in particular ways. There's usual a popping noise accompanied by some pain. However, I can walk for miles without feeling pain. I also have recently taken up swimming and usually have little to no issue swimming about a kilometer every other day and I do so fairly vigorously with little to no pain. As you can tell I'm getting some mixed signals from my body I think. I'd be deeply appreciative of any opinions anyone could offer up.
I'd also like so advice on some myofascial pain I developed. This doesn't have any particular triggering event. It just occurred after I tore my labrum. I'm 99% certain it is MBS due to its inconsistency and it starting after the stress of me tearing my hip. However, on the wiki it isn't discussed very much. I was wondering if myofascial pain and fibromyalgia are interchangeable terms? If so that'd give me a bit more research to work with. I typically just get very "tender" in my back and on a day by day basis it changes in location and intensity. Sometimes my mid back is very tender on both sides. Other days not at all. Same with my rhomboids and shoulders. If anyone had any advice about that as well I'd be grateful.
Thank you for your time if you read this all the way through and I hope you are doing well
