What are the symptoms of a SLAP tear?
Typical symptoms of a SLAP tear include a catching or popping sensation often associated with pain during shoulder movements. These are usually noticed during overhead throwing or serving activities. Patients often complain of pain deep within the shoulder or at the upper back of the shoulder. While it can be hard to pinpoint these symptoms, in cases where the biceps tendon is involved, patients may experience pain at the front of the shoulder.
