This means that the growth plate is being irritated by overuse and is showing signs of closing early as result.

If you don't deal with this, your son could end up with one arm that's shorter than the other or his bone will split at the growth plate.

This is a BIG deal.

JohnYaYa- that's a very scary scenario you've laid out. We are trying to take care of it. Saw Sports Orthopedist. Doing PHYS Therapy 3 days a week. Daily band work. No Throwing since mid Nov to Mid Jan. Hopefully that works. Doctor didn't express the dire scenario you've laid out.
