That's great news Hunter.  If you don't mind, what were the symptoms leading to the diagnosis and ultimately surgery?  Was it general shoulder soreness or was there an event that specifically caused the issue? 

He had continued bicep tendonitis which started his junior year of HS. He would rehab for a few weeks and 6 months later the tendonitis would return. Each time we had MRI's done but nothing conclusive. His freshman year in college the tendinitis reoccurred so back to rehab. He returned back to the mound 6 weeks later and after his 1st outing from rehab it occurred again. He came home after freshman year and rehabbed all summer with his PT that he had used in HS. He relocated to a local JUCO and played in the fall. His velo was down and he was having more issues so we went to our Ortho and he passed all his strength test and Doc was going to recommend rehab again but I insisted on an MRI. Finally they saw the tear which they diagnosed as a SLAP Tear. He had surgery 2 weeks later with 4 anchors put in place. Ultimately the bicep tendonitis was the culprit and we never knew. As his HS seasons were getting to the playoffs we noticed his command was not as good but his velo started creeping down as well. We did all the right things but the test were just too inconclusive. He's doing well and is looking forward to the spring. Will keep everyone posted. Thank You,
