Reply to "Ugh, elbow injury..."

One thing we found was make sure you're visiting a good sports medicine specialist who has experience and is highly recommended by other parents/athletes.  Most family doctors just don't see enough of these types of injuries to make an accurate diagnosis of the injury and certainly don't understand rehab/treatment.  We found a former D1 football player, who is has a very reputable practice and is also the team doctor for an area D2 college.  He has been great each time we've been to him (including yesterday for a broken thumb).  My son got hurt last spring in a HS game...went to the local hospital and was told his ankle was broken...likely out 6 weeks.  Went to the specialist the next day....."nope, just a sprain...walk on it as soon as you can...then try to run....once you can run...go play".  He missed 3 games
