I suspect the funding issue may be an area thing. I had a lympoma removed from my thigh. Initially I was informed that in the area that I lived they don't remove lumps anymore, but if I had lived in the area next to ours they still do!It was however removed as it was an Atypical cyst.The annoying thing is that the reason I had the scan was to find out if I did have arthritis. The scan said "No" the consultant reffering to the x-ray said "Yes" ,he also said that I had been diagnosed with the same medium arthritis 10 years ago and that nothing had changed. That diagnosis turned out to be a bad groin strain as I had suspected, and after I changed a working practice, the problem resolved itself.So now it's, do I have arthritis or not, I am tempted, no, I am 'going to' rely, on the scan and take it that there is no arthritis.This is the radiologists report, word for word:-Findings: There is a 1.5cm paralabral cyst at the 4 O'clock position, likely to be associated with a labral tear.
This can be discerned running posteromedially from the hip joint. The right femoral head shows minor osteophylic lipping.
Both hips appear otherwise normal with no evidence of femoroacetabular impingement.
Impression: Right hip labral tear at 4 O'clock position with 1.5cm paralabral cyst.Recommendation: Abnormal, refer to relevant clinician.The mind boggles!
Going to try something long and fast soon as another test
