  1. I’ll take this as honest inquiry: but the answer is no. Again, the joint itself is fine - thanks for the additional input from @Sawbonz and @ChiTownDoc - if the joint structure itself was needing repair, that’s bad. His ligament structure is what is damaged — stretched actually — and that is going through a natural inflammatory process, which would be necessary to heal it up. If he wound up weeks from now with on-going pain or issues then conceivably, yes you can go ahead and push some PRP or stem cells into the capsule/ligament to stimulate a novel healing process. I’ve seen these heal in around 4 weeks for D-1 athletes and high schoolers, so OU is a reasonable timeframe.
  2. I’ve been trying to respond to this thread:. Yes an SC sprain is a whole different beast - can actually be life-threatening on the left side due to major blood vessels. An AC sprain (grades 1-2) would have been best-case scenario as our surgeon friend explains and what we were hoping for when they said MRI. So yeah, damn. No you cannot technically rehab the joint itself (it’s a joint not an actual muscle!) so you rehab the chest, shoulda, shoulder blades etc - everything around it. once his pain is controlled, and his mechanics are not affected, he will be cleared. I’m actually in the sports medicine business myself. But not a nurse.
