Reply to "Rotator Cuff Fatigue"

As a follow up, we saw a different Sports Medicine Dr yesterday (not ortho, but GP in sports medicine)recommended from summer team coach.

He says the elbow is fine because in "functional" position and manipulation, there is no pain. More complicated answer from DR, but that's the readers digest version.

He says shoulder is less flexible than desired and the inability to backwards extend (due to inflexibiity) is putting more torque on elbow to produce velocity resulting in intermitten pain. The reduced flexibility is compouned by a really tight front shoulder capsule due to strength training on the front and not enough attention to back muscles.

Again all more detailed in the discussion and in the orders for PT (which I can barely read). This seems like the right answer and we dont have any reservations like we did after the first opinion.

Thanks for the input in this thread.
