Strained Exterior Oblique Muscle- Catcher | High School Baseball Web

Son strained an exterior oblique muscle on his left side. So far it's been painful for 5 weeks. He's sat out for 2 weeks without any throwing or batting at the advice of his PT. He doesn't have pain when blocking, just twisting motions or leaning forward on throwdowns. Anyone have some experience with this? How long did it take to heal?

Hubby's a doc and son's been to the sports med guy. We know what it is -- same injury Chipper Jones had during the season that has caused him problems. I'm just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and about how long did they or their son end up sitting out. We've been told anywhere from 6-8 weeks so long as there is total rest. I guess I'm curious anyway--just looking for confirmation.
