I will echo Bulldog's statement. I don't know how he could be sure the rotator cuff is OK or why he wouldn't schedule an MRI. The range of motion testing is only a brief indicator of potential injuries within the shoulder, and if your son cannot lift his arm over his head without pain there is certainly some damage in the area.

My advice would be to call the doctor and request an MRI ASAP. If he/she declines, I'd schedule an appointment with another doctor. It's your son's arm, not his/hers.
