@thups An x-day won’t tell you a thing if it’s a muscle / tendon / ligament issue. I’d strongly recommend a PT to examine ALONG WITH a MRI as a baseline.
@thups Don't worry... they will tell you need an operation or extensive rehab. Even if you don't really need that, they will. And if you go through the operation, likely, it still won't be at 100% and you will have sunk a bunch of money into it.
As aging aches and pains start to come, I feel like there is a delicate balance between 'living with it' and following the 'expert' advice. Because believe me... someone will want to operate.
