Thoughts and prayers heading her way. DD has recently been diagnosed with a partially torn labrum in her pitching shoulder, so I have been studying about the various injuries. Luckily the surgeon does not feel surgery is necessary at this time. She has also been diagnosed with GIRD, and the surgeon feels most of her pain is coming from that. He is recommending PT but feels she will be ready for her senior season of high school ball. I told her about your DD and she stated she will be watching her closely, and cheering her on. So we have at least one more Duke fan in this household.
Regarding hip labrum injuries. I know that there are several types and severities. The fact that the surgeon is delaying surgery is a good sign to me. A member of our high school football team was diagnosed with a hip labral tear halfway through the football season. He was able to play through it and help the team to a State Championship. He then went on to begin the varsity basketball season before shutting it down in mid-January for the surgery. He is already back in the weight room doing work on the stationary bike. He is very limited at this point, but it has been less than 4 weeks since his surgery. He is expected to be back at full speed for summer sessions (football). So even if the surgery ends up being necessary, she will hopefully return to action quickly. Best of luck!
