PRP have limited role in rotator cuff and SLAP tears.
It has given results in some cases but can't say how significantly it will help you
Next Steps
You can start with Shoulder strengthening exercises, start Hot fomentation , take analgesic with muscle relaxant tablet SOS. Physiotherapy can be continued..
