Labrum Issue

I’m 33 years old and have had hip pain for 6 months. My doctor thought it was bursitis from holding my kids on that side. I tried oral steroids and that helps for a couple weeks and the pain came back. I tried a steroid shot and that did not completely make the pain go away, but it did help. They x-rayed me and said everything was fine and that it was probably back pain. I demanded a CT scan. That showed a “minor inconsistency in the left hip suggestive a chronic injury to the labrum.” I was told it was not a tear and it’s the  “lateral acetabular labrum.”  I was told to keep doing what we had talked about which was take ibuprofen for the pain. This is all from a different doctor at the practice as mine is on maternity leave and they can’t tell me when she will be back. I feel like they aren’t trying to help me. I don’t know what to do. Should I go to a different doctor?
