Too soon: Not too long since the repair these take some time to get better you need to discuss this with your surgeon.

Complicated: Rarely is it recommended to repair slap tear over 40. Can be issue with knots from sutures or implants. Also may not have healed. Can be scar tissue. Would suggest f/u arthro-mri. Generally better off doing biceps tenodesis if this is deemed to be the problem area.
