Late to the party here, but a acquaintance of mine ended up with a moderate SLAP lesion that caused him mild to moderate pain. He told me on average it was a 3 out of 10 on a pain scale...but if he did anything it went acute for an entire day and was a 6 out of 10 until he took NSAIDs.
He opted for arthroscopic debridement and PRP (platelet rich plasma injects). The process took 3 months, but he progressively got better with every treatment after the first month. It isn't mentioned by physicians often because cutters want to cut. I'd ask about it. It's less invasive...you can always up the ante afterwards. Although insurance was an issue...they rarely like paying for PRP--if ever.
I can speak to PRP being effective. It pulled my ass out of the eternal fire pit after an elbow injury.
