How bad is a labral tear, really?
I keep hearing that my pain and tight muscles have been a result of my labral tear, and if I don’t fix my impingement and retroversion it will never improve & I’ll just retear. One of my doctors was shocked when she heard i tore my labrum and said “you’re very young to do that, that’s not common.”
But I’m reading that about 70% of adults will eventually tear their labrum and most teenage athletes already have. If it’s so common, why do we put an emphasis on fixing it? I’m kind of shocked seeing such a high percentage.
