Jay Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hey guys and gals... Just wondered if there are any docs on here! I have just been diagnosed with a slap lesion shoulder injury and am going in for an M.R.I scan tomoz and they are injecting some fluid thing lol into my shoulder. Has this happened to anyone before or does anyone kno much about it? Cheers Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 he's a rugby player so that should be obvious Jerry.... he got really drunk, stripped naked, ran through the high street at 2am and then thought he could rugby tackle a concrete bollard and lost.

stanski Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Ouch sorry to hear that Jay - I think the injection will be a dye to help them see whats what - hope you get it sorted soon mate take it easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty78 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm a doctor but i'm not an orthopaedic surgeon..have to say I have not come across that before. Do u know the exact medical term for your condition? It's not frozen shoulder or rotator cuff tear, is it? The injection is probably a radio-opaque contrast so that the lesion shows up on the MRI of the shoulder. Should be out of your system in few hours.

Just constant impact on the one shoulder and it eventually went pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 props are the most physically demanding position to play, i've seen more serious injuries on props than on any other players. i've been out for 5 years now with knee and ankle problems, and i reckon i'm about 2 inches shorter than i should be. hope you get it sorted and that it won't be a long term out of play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz77 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 jay SLAP stands for Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior lesion. it is essentially a cartilage defect +/- detachment of the biceps muscle. Its diagnosed after an MRI or shoulder arthroscopy and clinical examination is only suggestive. I wouldn't label your shoulder with a SLAP lesion prior to those tests. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty78 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi maz77, are you an orthopaedic surgeon or sports medicine expert then? Thanks for the info btw. now i know what it is I have to say i have never come across that before but I have never done orthopaedic since I qualified. I am an obstetrician and gynaecologist.

maz77 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 bounty yes mate. an orthopod as you guys call us. no worries about the info. jay the shoulder will ease off as the body absorbs the fluids injected during the arthroscopy so stop being a baby best of luck and hope the arthroscopy and MRI both come back negative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
