Reply to "Finally had his Tommy John Surgery"

Best of luck to both of your sons for a speedy and successful recovery.

My son (college freshman) was working out on the 22nd. He felt a little soreness in his elbow, but finished his throwing. Thursday morning he woke up and told me he needed to go to the doctor. The pain had gotten worse. We finally got an appointment for today with a sports medicine clinic. The doctor took one look and said "UCL". We have an MRI scheduled for the 4th to confirm. We are all pretty devastated. He has never had any arm or elbow problems in his pitching career.

It is uplifting to hear some good news about this type of injury. Can you tell me how soon after the diagnosis your surgery was performed?
