More Needles?

I saw the specialist today to talk about how things are progressing.  So I told him that since I had a go at running I have had quite a lot more pain again, in my hip and knee in particular, where it was OK before.
My ankle is always a bit sore, but the hip and knee had both been doing fine.  Now, when I try to do things like squats or lunges I get sharp pain in the front of my patella, and my hip often feels like it needs to (painfully) click.  On several occasions I have had to stop whatever movement I was doing because of the pain.
I have also noticed that just generally my hip feels like it catches more, and aches like it did pre-op.

So, it looks like one of two possible situations;

1.  Running has made the joint inflamed, which is causing the catching sensation and the pain.  I need to monitor it for a couple of weeks and see if it improves, and if not then I will need to have a cortisone injection into my hip under local or general anaesthetic.

Or......and I'm really hoping for option one here......

2.  Running has re-initiated the labral tear.  My surgeon says I'd have to be pretty unlucky for this to be the case!  Four surgeries in, it has to be said I wouldn't use the word 'lucky' to describe my predicament so luck is something I am trying not to rely on if possible!  (Believe me, I do know things could be much worse, but still........)

Please if you read this, send a few good 'let it sort itself out on its own' vibes my way!!  The thought of another hospital procedure is not something I want to contemplate right now (although I do LOVE the sensation of being put under a GA!).
