KB,

Sorry to hear about your son. I totally understand him wanting to play his senior season. I doubt if the elbow will be any problem if he hits RH.

Please try to prepare yourself for the possibility of an inconclusive diagnosis next week. I am not a doctor, but my personal experience (with son and several acquaintances) is that MRIs are not very good at showing partial ligament damage of the elbow. Even with the contrast, which is a must. Search through this site for other TJ threads, and you’ll find lots of people who recommend searching out the best ortho possible given your geography and finances. IMO, the best ones can tell more from an exam than an MRI.
