Labrum Tear (Rt)

2017-01-15 12:05:43
I had a labrum tear in right shoulder two years ago and also had done a month of PT. But unfortunately there was no improvement in my shoulder condition. This is highly disappointing/depressing as I could not continue in any of the overhead sports these days. I cannot play badminton, tennis, cricket bowling, can't throw a ball, can't punch. My question is does labrum tear can be repaired(I am not doing anything from a year). Are normal Physios capable of recovering such injury. Will resting make me recover my shoulder. Thank You.

Sorry for late reply, Actually to know proper treatment for labral tear... It's better to have mri where v can understand the amount and pattern of tear.... Answers to ur questions r.. 1.Yes labral tear can b repaired. V do it nowadays by arthroscopic surgery.. 2.Physiotherapy will help u releive ur pain but not repair the tear. 3.Rest again will releive ur pain but not repair the tear... So rest and physiotherapy may reduce ur pain( depends upon MRI report) but may not allow u activities ur talking about in long term. So my advice is, it's been 2 year ur still in problem,so do MRI and if essential go for surgery.
