Ok she has been resting was back at practice on Tuesday and tried bars. She came home with a little pain but it was gone by morning. Hasn't been in pain since. She is going to try Bars at a meet tonight and see how it feels. Hoping she isn't pushing her self just to get back to gymnastics. I told her try the warm up and see how it feels any pain at all then tell coach she isn't ready.
She did conditioning and bars on Tues. Doesn't have club practice again until Monday as Club is away for a meet.
Goes back to DR on 14th to see if pain is still happening. She is suppose to try to add moves this coming week (yes she has added before the time the DR said but what can I do she is going to do what she wants at this age)
The Dx is Muscle spasms that are pulling the spin temp out of alignment. You could see it on the tests.
The part I didn't like is on Tues I went to gym owner to let him know what the DR said and the restrictions DR put on her - No hard jumping, no hyperextention moves for the back. Can do Conditioning and stretching and try some easy bar moves if no pain then can try other moves - add moves in slowly.
Owners response "What does that mean?" "This is just going to give her an excuse to get out of working out!" "So how bad can a muscle spasm be? She has to work through the Pain?"
Ok that comment had me MAD!!!! I'm trying to get her back into the gym slowly so she doesn't hurt her self any worse before sectionals and states and this fool thinks she is faking to get out of working out. She of course is giving me I can handle it mom - I can do it all now. She is chomping at the bit to get back to the gym.
I gave him the Ortho Dr's note and number and told him I have no idea what the DR means and he can call him directly to get things clarified. I took it to mean she can stretch, do conditioning, no tumbling for now, can try to add in bars slowly. If no pain can try to add in other events slowly but you can call to see if I'm understanding correctly.
Ok owners and coaches how would you handle it?
I know this is the 3rd injury 2 of which have been atributed to over training (gym owner has stepped up the repetition of routines alot) but she has never had an injury that kept her out more than a day or 2 in all the years we have done this. She has always given it her all and tried to work thorugh pain.

That response from the owner makes me made too! Do they not know who the girls are that work really hard and from those who take the easier way out!! I'll keep her in my prayers to keep getting healthy and back in the swing of things lol.
Me, being that clueless mom, that is!!
