DALEX,
I concur with BBMOM and MADAD...have your son seen at the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze, FL. Dr. Steve Jordan and Dr. Brett Kindle saw my oldest there in July and again in September. Diagnosis was actually worse: SLAP, rotator cuff tear, arthritis, radial nerve impingement, elbow bone fragments...pretty much everything. Son did steroid, PRP, and stem cell injections all as out patient on our first visit. Then six weeks of PT prescribed specifically by the Andrews therapist with a firm they sanctioned. Son is throwing from 200' now and flat grounds pain free. So far, so good. Starts Driveline this week.
Local ortho doctor recommended PT only then return to throwing within two weeks. Nuts.
So we went to Andrews in Birmingham. 5 minutes in the office. Very much a drive by and zero follow up. They recommended two surgeries immediately. No guarantee my son would ever play again. So, we went to Gulf Breeze where Andrews himself practices. Totally different experience.
Every situation is different of course. But for leading edge thought on the throwing arm, Gulf Breeze was way ahead IMHO. And the staff was very easy to work with..setting up appointments, follow up, etc.
Good luck!!!
