Dr. Morgan gave Curt Schilling a second opinion on his arm injury, and is in the minority of the three doctors who examined the Red Sox pitcher. Morgan's opinion is that Schilling will never pitch again without surgery:

"When the tendon becomes irreversibly diseased, which my opinion is that it is now, the fibers are bundles within the single tendon, can start to separate longitudinally. It isn't torn cross-wise, it separates into these bands of spaghetti would be a good term to have a layman understand it. And once you see that, which is how it appears on his recent MRI, then really conservative measures will not resolve the pain. And without resolving the pain by conservative measures, I see no shot at being able to have him become pain free and strengthening of the shoulder muscles with or without a cortisone shot. I don't think this guy will even be able to exercise, to be able to find out whether that approach is successful in any way, shape, or form.

And this on Schilling's pain:

Morgan said Schilling was in pain when he started his exercise program before January, and when he started his offseason throwing program, he had a dramatic increase in pain.

"And by dramatic, he told me he could throw a ball five feet. By dramatic, I mean this guy's got pain opening a door. He was not able to complete all of the positions that were requested for his MRI on Jan. 24 because he couldn't put his arm above his head and hold it there without excruciating pain -- that's what we're talking about here."
