Hey Antonia,
As Janet said, the labral tear is definitely fixable! I had my labral tear surgery about a year ago and my PN is pretty much completely under control now, thank God. I've never been diagnosed with a hamstring tear, but I have been diagnosed with some hamstring strain causing sit bone pain. My surgeon thinks that is related to my hip as well, so it makes sense you might have a similar issue.
I don't know where you live, but please try to have a consultation with the best hip surgeon you can find to see if they will fix your tear. It is not an easy process and there is no guarantee it will fix your PN, but there is definitely a connection for a lot of people with both hip and PN issues. Pelvic floor pt might help some with all the tension that has built up as a result of stabilizing your hip and might relieve some PN symptoms. Ultimately, orthopedic pt helped me more than pelvic pt, but your doctor is not crazy to suggest it. Feel free to PM me or respond to this thread with questions.
Good luck with everything, it can get better!
