Hello, I have been suffering with various problems with my back, right leg and recently I was given a referral for an MRI, (my third one), to check if I have a tear in my hip. I do have pain in my hip that comes and goes and also up my back on my right side. I have seen several doctors and also a physical therapist, etc. Do you know if a tear in the hip requires surgery and also is there a more potent medication or treatment I can take other than just Aleve to relieve my daily chronic pain? In addition, I also have curvature of the spine.
