Take Action
Immediate Action
Since a SLAP Lesion usually accompanies a shoulder ailment such as superior dislocation or rotator cuff tear, follow the first aid directives for those conditions if pain persists. If the condition is not painful, but the catching sensation does not stop, take ibuproferin or aspirin to reduce swelling and schedule an appointment with an orthopedic specialist. Use medicines only as directed.
