Let me know if you (or any one else reading this) want some research articles for either of those points, if you're into that sort of thing.
Surgery is a big risk and, in this case, may not be a big payoff. You will need significant therapy if you have a surgery, so you would be remiss if you didn't do some in the first place.
I can count the number of labral tears that I've seen that have needed surgery on one finger.

I have done multiple rounds of physio and some chiropractic care but it doesn't seem to address the pain. Since I have just officially got the tear as a confirmation perhaps the hip specialist may recommend treatment, surgery hasn't been officially discussed.
I would love some research material as this is a big decision. I am not an athlete or anything, just a regular Joe who's in pain and without a clue as to where this happened. I don't recall a specific injury at the gym or anything that would have caused this, just a nagging injury that has been going on for about 14 months.
Thanks for your suggestions and I would like to take you up on your offer. Are you a health care professional? You mentioned you have seen multiple labral tears so I am just wondering.
Thanks in advance!
