I though I might update you all on our sports journey these last couple weeks. My son's MCL injury to his knee healed pretty quickly and he only missed one game. He played the second half of the next game and all but a few plays of the third game. However, near the end of that game, he got hit hard on the shoulder. He experience pain for a few minutes, but it went away and he continued to play. After the game, he realized that he could not lift his left arm at all. There was no pain, but he couldn't lift his arm. It took until Tuesday afternoon to get him in to see the orthopedic surgeon and he was completely perplexed. The lack of pain made it impossible to diagnose the injury. So he has ordered an MRI. Unfortunately, it takes 7-14 days to get insurance approval for an MRI, so we are waiting.
I am happy to say that in the meantime, he has slowly regained used of his arm. He can now lift it up over his head, still with no pain. It is not quite normal -he says it takes extra effort to lift it - but we are greatly encouraged with the progress. He has another appointment with the orthopedic surgeon on Thursday and we are hoping he is released to play for this Friday's game, which is the Homecoming Game. Perhaps we will be able to forgo the whole MRI.
