AK, I'm sorry to hear about your injury! I want to caution you though, that it would be dangerous for any of us to recommend physical therapy exercises for you since we are not experts, and also we are unable to know all the details of your specific injury and condition. Can you get a referral from the Doc to a qualified physical therapist, preferably with experience in sports injuries?

Thanks guys for the support.
MN-Mom, I have got an appt to see a specialist, but I was just looking for some more opinions.

AK-

I am really sorry to hear about your injury. I know from reading these boards that you have been working hard getting ready for the season and to have such a setback is really unfortunate.

As someone who broke his shoulder (actually cracked the ball portion), I would like to echo MN-Mom's advice - get a referral to a physical therapist, and then follow their advice to the letter.

I did follow the program - and while it was hard work and very time consuming, my shoulder is now stonger than it was before the injury.

Good luck with your recovery...

A follow up on this problem.
I made it to the PT today and I have some damage to the AC on the right side now. He told me that I have major strength problems with the scapula, which means that I gotta build that sucker up. I got my TheraBand and I am ready to rock! Things are looking good because I can build up and take away a major problem in the mechanics. Plus my coach showed me something in my windup that is fixable, so now with a little practice it is supposed to add about 2 mph. Well thats all and thanks for the help and support crew.

simliar thing happened to me last spring while doing some not too heavy work, it was during the season, on the incline bench just felt a 'pop' and whenever i moved my arm, it would snap. hope your back out there lifting and throwing again soon

Glad to hear that you are in a PT program and that things are looking good... Thanks for the update...

Another follow-up, re-injured it again on my right arm. Done for the year

Sorry about your shoulder re-injury. That's tough. My high school senior-to-be has been out since the beginning of April with a shoulder injury, and we are most likely facing surgery. I hope you are seeing a specialist, and can get it taken care of, so that you don't lose any more time. Keep us posted.
