You folks are a wealth of knowledge and I have always enjoyed reading the comments on this site.  Lots of great information!  I have a situation with my son, thought I would put it out there and get some advice/comments.

Son is a Junior pitcher at a D3 school, complained of shoulder pain in January.  Trainer sent him to doctor, they examined him and gave him a shot...I assume cortisone and had him lay out of throwing for a couple of weeks.  Pain continued, treatment by the trainer before and after practice continued.  I emailed the trainer with my concerns she responded saying basically the situation was under control.  I requested an MRI and was told that would be an option.  Son Continued to practice and play on a limited basis.

Finally at the end of the season an MRI was preformed, slightly torn labrum.  We have requested a medical hardship for the past season, what should have been a season ending injury was mishandled by the training staff.

The school indicated that they would seek a medical reinstatement from the NCAA.  I guess what I would like to know is what is the next step?  Are there things my son should be doing to or people he should be contacting regarding this or should he simply wait and do as directed by the school?

I think he needs to be proactive but I have no idea exactly what he should be doing.

Comments and advice are welcome and thank you in advance for taking the time to assist.
