Is It Advisable To Take Up Physiotherapy Despite Having Undiagnosed SLAP Tear For Over 6 Years?
Hi, i have had an undiagnosed slap tear for around 6 years. my range of movement is definitely lessened and at times with certain arm positions, my shoulder seems to pop out. Of course one would need to see it u close, but what i am asking for a general idea is if it is recommended to get surgery or if after all this time, i would be able to still do physiotherapy? thanks

Hello,
It is necessary performing a joint MRI in order to examine it better. Surgery is a treatment option, in case of tearing. I recommend discussing with an orthopedic surgeon, for a physical exam too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
