Slap Tear in left shoulder
Got the results from my MRI. Grade 2 Slap Tear in left shoulder. I'm going in for surgery next week. Instead of doing a slap tear repair my surgeon is going to do a Tenotomy. Anyone have any experience with this type of procedure? Recovery time is 6 weeks. Biggest risk is Popeye deformity of the bicep. Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated!

they are going to release the bicep tendon where it attaches to the labrum. I go in this evening. supposedly in 6 weeks in a sling i'll be pain free. always nervous getting cut into. But its becoming so painful its getting in the way of working out. I'm ready to just get it over with.
Thanks all for the replies!

Out of surgery and home now. Ended up having to stay the night. It was pretty brutal when the nerve block wore off. Once they got in the shoulder they discovered some torn cartilage and bone spurs to clean up as well. I’ll update on my progress. I’m in a sling recovering now

Sorry to hear about the tear bud. I currently have a Slap tear and a bankart tear in my left shoulder. I fell at work. 10 foot drop on top of my head.
Took 4 months through workman’s comp to get a MRI to confirm the tears.
I’ve been doing aggressive physical therapy and it is finally working. The pain is greatly reduced along with a good increase in range of motion

I’ll keep u updated. My thought was 2 weeks of pain vs a lifetime it was worth it. It’s time out of the gym that’s the worst part. Total mind fuck. Hopefully by Monday I’ll be able to get on the bike again and keep up on my cardio
