Hello,
My DD is entering sixth grade and training level 8. She has been a state champion and well as the state bar champion for level 7 for all age divisions as well as placing in the top 10 at regionals this past season. Last summer daughter was diagnosed with Panner’s and after physical therapy and rest of six weeks she competed successfully last season. Three weeks ago, she mentioned that her elbow was hurting and admitted that the pain has never completely gone away . She has a high pain threshold and loves gymnastics. Long story short, MRI showed OCD of the elbow. After much discussion with our daughter, we decided that surgery was needed and the doctor explained to her what her recovery will look like and that she will be able to return to gymnastics. She understands that this season is most likely out as she competes from October to April. She was accepting of this until she talked to team mates and now is fighting against the surgery as she now thinks that the surgery will end her gymnastics. Any help or success stories of OCD elbow surgery would be great! Thanks!
