A member asked:

Can i take xarelto with shoulder surgery and my mri reports says i have type lll slap lesion what does that means?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can: Yes you could. But, I don`t see any indication for you to take it. SLAP= superior labrum anterior and posterior . It is an injury to the Labrum, cartilage in the glenoid cavity of humerus. There are alternative to surgeries: PRP and HGH injections. Although, they are not FDA approved.
