Sounds about right....the same advice was given to my husband about his knee. Ditto. He could only move it 90 degrees and no more. And was told that down the road, when it gets too bad to carry on, they will replace his knee for him. I am sure hip joint has its own complications...but the principle is the same for all joints.
We felt this advice as inadequate, so we decided to do our own thing. What we did was start having copious amounts of vit c, not in tablets( they are full of caking agents, sweetners, flavourings)
You can start with a vit c flush, google it, to know what it is and how to do this. This will give you an idea of how much vit c you need to rebalance your body's own healing mechanism. Have it in pure food grade Ascorbic acid. And have small doses of. 1/4 of a tea spoon at a time but many many times. Copious is the word.
There are nay Sayers all over the Internet about what I said, but if you are serious about getting mobile and flexible again, go for it. Vit c rebuilds cartilage.
Also he is fond of yoga and started doing it regularly once again after a very long break of several years. Don't force your body to bend into postures, be gentle, give her time, make space for her to do her own magical healing....she will do it beautifully.
He also stopped eating neat sugar. He used to have 1/2 a packet of liquor ice all sorts ( I know, talk about a big kid!)
You can have cakes and occasional muffin, but avoid neat sugar as in sweets...
And follow the feeling in your heart that you can sort this....
Most of the time you will do good to ignore doctor's advice.....but do so in a self contained energy rather than retaliation.
Be your own doctor, you have much better chance of well being
I am surprised in a way they didn't opt for surgery straight off. I suspect what the physio is saying is correct . I have to know a bit about joints and muscles in my work and what you have been told makes sense with what I know. How did you dislocate your hip?
I don't know what exercises the physio has you doing, but if you can find a tai chi class near you it could be worth giving it a go if your physio sees no problem. . I know the type of tai chi I teach (qigong) would be beneficial for someone in your situation even if you had to sit to do it initially (I am assuming you can sit in a chair with legs not crossed)
It may well take a lot of patient exercise (physio and/or tai chi?) but I would suspect the muscles and tendons could be strengthened so you would achieve more normal movement in time. But it won't happen overnight.

posterior hip dislocation by motor accident. i can sit on chair normally but can't sit on floor with crossed legs. My physio is does normal stretching and compressing exercises to hips.
I did my research about C flush and it is interesting !!

I can just imagine what my tai chi teacher who is BIG into posture would say about sitting on the floor with crossed legs. ....she would not approve. If you did it a lot that may well have contributed to the weakness that allowed the dislocation to happen. So possibly not being able to do it could be beneficial in the long term...however I can understand why you want to be able to do it.
Tai chi would not do any compression. It would just encourage gentle movement and good posture and get the muscles and tendons used to doing what they need to do again......
