I have had issues with my shoulders for 15 years and recently had an MRI to pinpoint what is causing the pain. I had thought for years I had a bone spur and likely a rotator cuff tear however after meeting with the doctor this week I found out what the real issue is. Apparently I have a SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum of the shoulder
The injury typically involves the biceps tendon and the labrum, because it is at the superior end of the socket and because it can effect the labrum attachments anterior and posterior to where the biceps attaches in this region, the acronym or abbreviation for this injury is a SLAP lesion.
My question is have any of you had this procedure before? I'm reading this is a much longer recovery time than rotator cuff surgery what do you recommend to speed up the recovery process?
