Hip, hip hooray!

After three years, two doctors, and one physical therapist, I finally have a diagnosis on my hip problem and as jemima observed, I'm entirely too cheerful about the fact I probably have a labral tear. It took them a while to diagnosis, but the fact I can pop my right hip out was very interesting to them. I was crushed, absolutely crushed, that what I thought was increased flexibility in my right leg is actually due to the labral tear and my recalcitrant left leg is what my right leg -- sans labral tear -- is supposed to look like. I'm just glad to finally, finally have a diagnosis and know now there wasn't anything I personally could do to make the pain and stiffness go away.
