I had a SLAP Lesion, a complete tear of the ligament around the rotator cuff, or so this idiot understood it. It took about a year to heal and I still don't try and throw anything. I used a very good doctor in Houston, TX.
Some of these injuries cannot be repaired by proper exercise, they have to be surgically repaired and then rehabbed. Some can be fixed without surgery. See a good orthopedist surgeon is my advice.

Actually have seen about three, including my old roommate who is an orthopedic surgeon. I know him too well to let him operate on me. The last group I saw are the team doctors for the Pirates. I asked them how come I'm reading about players getting operated on then throwing in a few months. He said with the way my shoulder looked, I would of retired years ago
. I tore the labrum a few years ago playing volleyball. The fall did some more damage to the rotators. The upcoming MRI will tell the tale. My question is if anyone had the surgery and resumed near the level prior to it. From what I gather, it should only be contemplated if your shoulder is: A. Hurting constantly B. Preventing you from carrying on you daily routines. C. Preventing you from sleeping properly. Mine's doing none of this.....yet.
