Ebox..........do you have a side that is worse or is your pain just tone-sided?.....What I would do and Dr Meyer can set this up for you to have done at your local Hospital etc is get a Sensorcaine test ........where they inject this solution into your hip joint of the problem side.......This test will tell you if the pain is coming from your hip.......IF you have no pain after this test then the hip is most likey your problem...........if the pain is still there then antother area is causing your problem...perhaps a hernia or RA tear.......
I had bi lateral RA tears and Bi lateral Adductor Tears and I could still do the bird dog, crunches , run etc so you really cant go by that to rule out things
Also for Your MRI Appt I would have Meyers do another MRI...If you wrent torn the first one and there was a problem.....all the PT stuff if it didnt actually heal it would stand a good chance to further tearing it....thats what happend to me.....11/08 MRI ...just left sided tears....7/08 MRI....bi lateral tears
Good Luck
