Need more info: If you did not have surgery then the labrum is still torn. This does not necessarily mean that you have to have surgery. Labral tears vary in size, location and associated symptoms. Often degenerative tears are treated conservatively, without surgery, and patients do quite well. Your orthopedist/ sports medicine physician can help you make this assessment. If you had surgery your doc will tell you.

Physical exam: You need to be evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon if you have complete healing. Doctor will do this by history and physical exam maneuvers. Sometimes an MRI might be indicated if there is a question.
