To Scope or Not To Scope?

That is the question at the very front of my mind. I can't think about anything else. I can't focus at work. It would be easier if this was a no-brainer.

Was I unrealistic in what I expect from my body at this age (32)?
Did I exaggerate my symptoms to the doctor?
Am I wanting surgery for some weird unconscious reason that has nothing to do with my hip?
Is my hip really that bad? Does it feel better than the anticipated surgical result?

I really need to justify the surgery to myself.

I stopped taking Aleve for 4 or 5 days, however last night i had to pop some for an unrelated reason. The weirdness in my hip disappeared. I could tell it was irritated.

Would I be stupid to have surgery on a hip that can be tolerated through conservative therapy?
