Diagnosed via CT scan. I complained of pain in hip six years ago and my PCP stated that I may have stressed a muscle. I had an Xray and she stated there was nothing in the image and prescribed me 800mg Ibuprofen. I continued to have pain here and there but now it is consistent.

What type of surgery will this entail and what would be an estimated recovery time before returning to work.
