I was 38 when diagnosed. FAI on both hips but only affected me on the right so far. So the surgeon said I may need the other one done at some point, but not to worry about it if it doesn't affect me. It doesn't appear to be affecting me so I'm trying not to worry about it. :)
@TW - The biggest delay was getting diagnosed properly and then being booked in for consultation and surgery. (More than 6 months for all that.) Recovery was pretty swift. Surgery in the morning, home in the afternoon. On crutches for about a week. Returned to gym with a slight limp after a week to use the exercise bike. 2- 6 weeks getting back up to full non-running exercise intensity (cycling, indoor rowing, core/strength). Started running again 6 weeks after surgery and back up to full mileage after another 8 weeks. Another couple of months for full intensity training. I won a half marathon with a big PB, 7 months after surgery. Happy with that! :)

Ah I had FAI too! Needed open surgery though as keyhole didn't work out, which was pretty grim (crutches for 3 months - though on the plus side I have epic scars and metalwork). How old were you when you got diagnosed?
