MSK is my weakest subject and has been a major source of anxiety for me, but everything you release is so easy to disseminate.

    Thank you for the video. I appreciate your time and effort putting into these videos. I recently have been reading some studies as they relate to the treatment of SLAP tears. There was a small RTC study using bone marrow concentrate (BMC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a treatment modality. It's potentially a safer and more robust way to address the injury compared to the standard treatment we currently offer.

    Best explanation I’ve come across. I don’t have an official diagnosis yet as my mri is in several weeks, but I’m in agony. Suffering since October. Can barely move my arm. It feels as tho it’s coming off of my body when I do move it. I can feel it subluxing 😢 lots of expletives to describe it but I never fell on it extended. I did however slam right in it from falling on ice about 12 years ago. Went to PT then and it healed nicely. Didn’t have any tears back then. This is awful and I’m going out of my mind. Interrupted sleep… tried PT and can’t do it. I do not know what I did. Just woke up in pain. And it hasn’t stopped.

    Hi,I've had an X-ray and ultrasound of my right shoulder, then 12 months later, a mri the ultrasound showed two small tears in my rotator cuff however did pick up a labral slap tear until i had the mri scan done then the slap tear was seen so I have type 3 tear. I've had symptoms over the past 15 months, and I've gradually gotten worse. I've had rotator cuff repair on my left shoulder, too.
    I've been doing exercise physiotherapy since surgery back in February 2022 and before that and developed capsulitis, which has put recovery back a bit. However, now the right shoulder issue my specialist surgeon has recommended surgery to repair the labram. However, the bicep tendinitis, hasn't been mentioned when I've spoken to my surgeon, so I'll definitely talk to my doctor about this. Your video explains this quite clearly. Oh, and my background. I'm 51 and have been working in a truck parts warehouse for the past 20 years now, and there's a lot of heavy repeative lifting.
    Great video cheers, Col 👍

    And also deep pain while reaching the arm in front and than rotating it in both directions like holding a bottle and kipping it out and than turning in the other direction.

    What a fantastic video, Khalid, thank you!! After over-use at the gym (likely doing Arnie presses!) 6 months ago, and ignoring it, I was recently diagnosed with SLAP lesion by my orthopedic surgeon and had many visits at my physio. After about 6 weeks (and prescription anti-inflammatories), the constant pain has been slowly subsiding - but every now and then it will flare up again. I'm 40.
    One thing I noticed was the three preferred tests for high degrees of diagnosis. In each of them (except the supinated O'Briens test) I felt almost no discomfort (like 1 out of 10). MRI however has shown it as a slap lesion - Type 1 or 2, the doctor said. I will be going in for a contrast MRI to better show any lesion in the area. My strong preference is not to get surgery, so I'm trying to rehab as much as possible.
    I'd love to get any further recommendations for rehab exercises (including good form) that you can think of. I often find myself needing to mentally engage the right muscles as using the resistance bands sometimes causes me to just use my bicep/tricep instead of posterior rotator cuff.
    Once again thank you so much for this video, it really helps spread the knowledge and clearly articulates the terminology!

    • @ClinicalPhysio
      @ClinicalPhysio  2 роки тому +5

      Hi Mark! Thank you so much for your message! I’m really pleased to hear that all tests gave almost no discomfort! I must admit I would be a hypocrite if I was to give clear advice over the internet as a therapist/doctor/clinician who is able to see you in person and assess you is much better than me guessing over messaging… but a few things to think about, 1) SLAP lesion on a scan can be an incidental finding I.E. it is on the scan, but is it actually causing the symptoms?…… 2) You can absolutely avoid surgery if you it isn’t causing a huge issue to you and your pain levels ….. 3) once again, to prevent hypocrisy, please may I recommend you get specific exercise advice from someone who can fully assess you for the right exercises. Sorry to not give specific advice, but I would much prefer, for your sake, that you get advice specifically from someone who can assess you rather than me guessing at exercises over the internet 🙏🏼 wish you all the best!

    Thank you for this throughout explanation. I suffered a stage 2 SLAP tear to my left shoulder in summer of 2017 from trying to start a VERY stubborn lawnmower. I did some shoulder stretches afterwards to see if it would improve my pain. It only increased my pain by 100%. I felt a spider web of pain to the front of my shoulder. Then afterwards I couldn't raise my arm up above my head. I spent 3 months in an arm sling. Every step I took KILLED my shoulder. Riding in a vehicle was also extremely unbearable. I later developed long head bicep tendinitis due to the SLAP tear. I've had nearly 6 years of on and off extreme pain. Then had surgery late January for another issue. It was mandatory that the BP cuff be placed on my left arm dispite my pleas of having bicep tendinitis. My BP was taken 5x that day for surgery. Been living with level 8-10 front shoulder pain since then. Can anyone explain why having a BP taken 5x cause injury to an already damaged and repaired tendon?

    A week ago I was doing pec cable flies from slightly below shoulder level, lightweight (12 kg either side) really slowly, controlled, focusing on the stretch.
    I was allowing my arms to go back a lot at the end of the eccentric.
    And, third set, 12th rep, I heard a subtle pop.
    Accompanied by a strange sensation.
    Not pain, or very little pain.
    It was more like a sensation of ease.
    As if my right shoulder joint had found a better location and it could move more freely.
    I have always had limited mobility in my right shoulder accompanied by pain both on internal and external rotation limits.
    So yes - first I thought it was a “good pop”…
    But when it came to train the biceps, I realised a strange gap between my felt and the long head of my biceps.
    I could still contract it, but it felt out of place so I stopped. I also noticed a slight yellowing right under my front delt where my bicep used to start, but now there is a slight gap.
    Went to emergency room and was told it’s a tear but it would heal on its own.
    Dismissed in 10 minutes.
    Having replayed it in my mind, what I believe happened, was a shift of the upper tendon. It simply feels as if that long tendon no longer runs in the groove at the top of my humerus, instead it moved a couple of centimetres forward and internally.
    What do you think,
    And what should I do?
    I really want to keep my functionality of my body, you know… I’m quite worried.

    Oh man, I'm 30 and have been struggling with a bad shoulder for the past 7 years.. had to give up muay thai and cant lift heavy like I used to. Been to some physio and was given some pointers, but over the years I've also explored my body with movement. Some of the movements you recommended I intuitively incorporated, like the straight arm pull down and Arnie press. I also like to lie on my back and with even just 5lb dbs do a lat pull over. But I'm going to I corporate the other motions you suggested, hoping they help!

    I had reparative surgery for this. It was endoscopic. But the imaging was the most painful thing I’ve encountered thus far in my life. The imaging was unbearable the length and positioning they had me in. And the contrast dye seemed like it was making my entire joint expand.
    I also had a distal biceps tendon rupture on that same side. It was repaired with an endobutton surgery. This happened before my slap tear.
    Now I have awful forearm and hand pain numbness and burning in both hands.

    Great video. I’m currently in physical therapy for a suspected slap tear of my left shoulder. What a “wonky” feeling! Clicking and clunking was pretty bad but seems to be lessening with treatment. I’m 52 and pretty active. My biggest concern is the possibility of a full long bicep tendon rupture occurring.

    I'm 48 and had SLAP tear surgery in 2009. I was great till about 5 weeks ago my shoulder hurts again and I cannot throw a baseball or football without pain and discomfort and a feeling of disconnect. I've tried ice, a few exercises, 3-5lb dumbbell exercises, resting it....not helping. I need to call the orthopedic that repaired it in 2009. Full recovery took about 2 months which was quick the Dr. claimed.

      Well, you could always go the route I went. Injured nearly 8 years ago now. Unable to lift a coffee cup up with my dominating arm. Feelings of raking box cutter sessions from the finger tips to the shoulder vice versa. With basic govt health care. Injured on the job, employer admitted no fault. Surgery was a pipe dream, still seems that way. Just soon after I lost my wife and sweet home, thanks to unemployment from the intense pain lifting simple items. She was smart to go. I was angry and didn't like going places with crowds because having someone brush my arm only triggered me. Same day, she left I lost my dog to an over grown and broken heart. Had to start living out of the back of my vintage pickup. 5 years I've lived via long bed now. The transmission just went out on me! Who's got arm I can borrow?

    This is so helpful thank you! Please what would you expect to see during the objective AROM, PROM and resisted tests? Would SLAP patients show weakness or any pain during particular PROM? Thank you

    • @ClinicalPhysio
      @ClinicalPhysio  Рік тому +1

      Hi Louisa! If a lower grade then mild restriction in AROM and potentially PROM, and I would expected resisted biceps to be sore. In more higher grades or severe cases I would probably expect more restriction and potential for other resisted tests including rotation to be sore, particularly if rotation is tested in outer ranges 😊 However, there isn’t necessarily a “one size fits all” with this and so would focus on subjective + tests as able 🙏🏼

    Hey thanks for the superb detail.
    The start of my shoulder injury started from one tennis session after not playing for a long while. Started booming serves because i just missed it so much haha. Next few days had the normal soreness around the teres area but once that soreness went away, a dull ache kicked in (infra area. Pec area only when i do runs). I reduced my arm activity a lot to not aggravate it but the dull ache continued and I started to notice i get a painful shoulder clunk when i bring my arm down from a fully flexed position (arnold press hurts from end positions to initial). Its been a year already now. Both of that symptoms are still there but with physio i dont limit my arm movement as much anymore and my strength definitely came back. Have yet to take an MRI but do you think the two symptoms i have is related to over doing it on the tennis serves during that session? Technically is not a traumatic one but a tennis serve can be considered traumatic haha. But anyway, just from this explanation alone, do you think there's definietly a tear?

      Hi Pascal - to answer your question, “No, I’m not totally convinced you have a SLAP tear”. But also, it’s important for me to say that it’s wrong to give you a diagnosis over the internet… please please seek advice with an assessment with a local clinician so you can get more accurate information 🙏🏼

    I had an injury wake boarding. Being pulled while my wake board was dragging. I think I over did the bicep muscles. I have been dealing with some pain for 5 months when I finally went in to the doctor to really figure it out. Got an MRI and doctor said I had a SLAP tear. He recommended tenodesis surgery. I basically have full range of motion but I do feel pain in extreme positions and I feel a bit of soreness still on the top of my bicep. Seemingly coming from the tendons. I tried to do the tests you showed on your video to myself and didn't experience pain. After what you stated about MRI tests I'm now a little sceptical that I have a SLAP tear. This injury has been more annoyance with sharp pains but it has gotten better over the 5 months. My surgery is scheduled in 5 days. And now I'm conflicted whether it's necessary. Would you recommend a second opinion or physical therapy before I do the surgery? I tried to do some of my own physical therapy after my injury but never did completely heal. Hard to know what to do.

    Hi Doc! Thank you for your informative videos. I study a lot from your channel since all the videos are well explained and easy to understand. From this video about the diagnosis of SLAP lesion, the study said that it is much better to do arthroscopy than MRI (because 87.5% of the cases missed diagnosing SLAP lesion) and the rehab for this depends on the grade of the injury. Since arthroscopy is quite invasive, and from the combination of those 3 special test we can early diagnose the SLAP lesion, I want to ask, is there any signs that we can use to differentiate and predict the grade based on physical examination only? Thank you

    • @ClinicalPhysio
      @ClinicalPhysio  Рік тому +2

      Hi Jessy!! Nice question thank you so much! I suppose we are likely to find that your higher grades of SLAP tears are going to be even more symptomatic - but I would suggest a clinician is less likely to be able to say “that’s definitely Grade 3” or that’s definitely “Grade 4” with clinical examination alone. Hope that makes sense 🙏🏼
