I read several e-mails hear about repairing Labrum tears in shoulders. I have a labrum tear and am considering acupuncture instead of orthroscopic surgery. Has anyone heard whether or not acupuncture can repair a labrum tear? Thank you, ECE

    Hope all is OK I visit my consultant (UK) next week. My MRI shows a small tear in the labrum. After Googling it looks like some Key Hole required. I am lucky that I am still swimming but only 1-2 times a week and Free Style only. I have had the problem since Oct 09. Finally hello to you all . Things went great and the prognosis is good. No additional damage noted. It's never going to be good as new, it will be better than it was and I am hoping it will be much better.
