Dear Zoe,
Sorry for making it public-But I wanted to try to help you and I only answer public questions for the benefit of the public. Thank-you for your understanding!

If the arthritis in the hip is bone to bone you may need the surgery.
If the tear is small and in a good position-it may heal.
I do not understand why you are seeing the neurologist-unless it is for the pain.
If you are overweight-now is a good time to go an a diet-This will help in a big way whether you have surgery or not.
Non-invasive options are tincture of time, seeing the neurologist for the pain,weight loss physical therapy and exercises
Hope This Helps
Good Luck!
