Large Dent On The Lateral Side Of The Scapula, Same Side Of Surgery Post Glenoid Labrum Repair. Is It Worrisome?

I recently had a posterior glenoid labram repair. Today is my last day in an external rotation sling and yesterday a large dent appeared in my upper back to the lateral side of my scapula on the same side as the surgery was. however, I don t think it is close enough to my labrum for it to be retorn. I can t figure out what this is or if I should be worried. I am leaving to go to the physical therapist today.

I would suggest you to show to orthopedics surgeon who has operated this. As it can be swelling at surgical site. If you are having any pain or it is just bump. I can assure you that it is not your labial tear.
