Will a torn labrum heal?
Hi I got an arthrogram MRI of my left shoulder which was injured lifting weights and found out I have 2 small tears in my labrum. I have a small SLAP lesion (tear) and a small tear of the posterior labrum. My left shoulder hurts with some weight lifting exercises. My doctor said I don't need surgery. Will the tears in the labrum heal on their own and reattach to the bone or will the tears always remain? Thank you.

Hi there!
The tears are unlikely to heal on their own, though smaller ones without any complications seldom require surgery.
Hope this information is helpful.
Take care!
