Possible femoral hernia
I just received the results of the MRI and am now really confused. My orthopedist ordered both an MRI of the pelvis w/o contrast and the left hip. The MRI of the pelvis did not show a hernia and no acute abnormalities. The MRI of the hip showed degenerative tearing of the anterosuperior and superior labrum of the left hip. I saw my orthopedist yesterday and he said the tear of the labrum could cause my groin pain and some of my other symptoms. He was still not sure that there was not a hernia as some of the symptoms could not be explained by the tear of the labrum and the severity and consistency of the pain. He said even though the MRI did not show the hernia he would still like me to see a hernia specialist to make sure. I was thinking the same thing before I saw him yesterday, that I had too many hernia symptoms, but what are the odds of having both conditions. I am thinking that I will make an appointment with your office Dr. Towfigh, what do you think?
