Hello, I am new to SH, and also have pain radiating down my thigh, groan, and knee. I was diagnosed with mild/moderate OA, which by itself does not make me a candidate for BHR. However, after months of this additional pain mentioned above, my Ortho finally ordered a MRI with dye, and I have a torn/detached labral, with cysts on the femur. Made a doctors appointment with Dr. Brooks PA this week. After the consultation they informed me that I am a candidate for BHR. I asked to have it fast tracked and my surgery is scheduled for June 18th, and pre-op on June 6. I sure hope I have the same wonderful results others have had, as I am so tired of the pain, taking pain pills and NSAID's, and generally not being able to do much. The groin pain has increased in the past 2 weeks, just hope I don't become totally disabled prior to the surgery.
