I had arthroscopic surgery for impingement syndrome in April-2008. I did have physical therapy but I still have considerable pain in my shoulder. I did regain some movement, but I have almost the same pain symptoms as I did before the surgery. I did have a small tear, but not large enough for surgical repair. Has anyone ever had the same results?

Patients’ results will vary. If you had a SLAP tear, you should consider paying a vist to your Orthopaedic surgeon and having MR arthrography performed to have a look at exactly what may be causing your symptoms. If the small tear resulted in a loose body, then MR arthrography should pick it up.
I hope you feel better soon.
