I've been told I need surgery for a tear in my posterior labrum. How safe is the procedure and what are the risks? Also, what exactly are bio absorbable sutures do they dissolve in the body or stay there permanently?

Posterior labrum repair is safe with risks of stiffness,nerve injury,or instability.Bio-absorbable sutures dissolve over months and do not need removal.

Question

I've been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable pain in my right hip for the past few days, especially when I sit down. The pain starts at the top and runs all the way down my leg. It's even tough sitting when I need to go to the bathroom. Now the pain seems to be moving to the front, around my pelvic area. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
