Hello! I suspect that I have a hip labral tear. I am a 34 year-old female in moderately good health, but in bad physical shape (ie I don’t get much exercise). No other health problems to speak of.
I recently moved to a house with steep stairs. About a week after the move, I began experiencing a “pop” or “click” in my left hip. I experience mild pain when the leg is at a 45 degree angle. I can walk on it, but there is always a slight discomfort.
I would like to avoid a doctor’s visit by doing some at home physical therapy. Could anyone give me any advice or point me to some imformation that might be helpful?

I’ve had left shoulder pain for several months, and finally asked one of the orthopedic surgeons that works in my office if she could take a look at it. Her perception is that is a labral tear. I’ve been exercising and stretching on a regular basis for about 4 weeks and haven’t gotten worse, but not necessarily better either. I’m very careful with exercises and my biggest emphasis is technique and not overdoing load (weight).
