Uh oh, diagnosis not good. LH has a "moderate" labrum tear. The Dr seems to think the impingement is what caused and/or led to the tear. Dr suggests surgery, say she does not think cortisone and/or any amount of rest will help it. I am burning up the phone right now trying to set up a second opinion. LH very upset. I feel so bad for him but keep reminding him there will be a light at the end of the tunnel and that it needs o be taken care of the and taken care of the right way, no ruShing, no shortcuts!
Really sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis. I'm sure there are a lot of questions all around. When things like this happen, people seek information. I found alot of information & answers on this board, people I know that have been through it and at http://asmiforum.proboards.com/. Best of luck to your son.
