In our experience if you show up back in the office saying we did the treatment you prescribed but it still hurts,  you'll get the MRI.  But if you gotta pay you gotta pay.

I'm curious - did your son continue to play after warming up hurt, or did he stop?

Also, does he do band work?  People who know more than me recommend band work for throwing athletes, not just pitchers, especially if they have had a hint of shoulder trouble.  They also recommend staying away from certain lifts.  It may be helpful to see a PT who can help your son with workout routines  that don't stress his shoulder.

Thanks for the response JCG.

I don't think the MRI will be a problem. We've got several avenues for that as Mrs. Tequila works in the medical field and has a lot of contacts. I just didn't really know the sequence of events i.e. can you just "carry" an MRI to a specialist and tell them this is what we've got.

He stopped throwing after warm-up with the exception of playing catcher in a benefit slow-pitch softball game later in the afternoon where he was basically just lobbing or under-handing the ball back to the pitcher.

He's not been doing band work but that is on the agenda and he's got a personal trainer that will be putting together a warm-up program for him to incorporate this. He also has a regular lifting regimen but nothing overhead to date. I've got a lot of faith in his trainer as he has a very good reputation locally, has been in the business a long time, and is a former division 2 catcher.
