I'm 14 years old and I play pitcher and shortstop, but I've had a problem with my upper arm/shoulder hurting for as long as I can remember.
The pains started last baseball season or the year before and I'm getting pretty sick of it. I've been playing through the pains and I just want it to stop.
The pains aren't necesarily IN my shoulder, it's more like my upper arm (between shoulder and elbow). I don't think it's a muscle injury, I think it's tendons. I play football also, and i've been diagnosed with tendonitis in my legs, so could tendonitis also be in my arm causing pain?
I do have decent mechanics so I don't think that's the reason. I do pitch pretty fast (around 70-75) and I do throw pretty hard when playing the field. I don't really want to slow down my pitching though.
I'm looking for a way to prevent the pain from starting at all, and ways to relieve the stress put on my arm. Streches/techniques/basically anything to fix my arm pains. Any help would be great.
P.s. Don't give me any bs about seeing a doctor, 'cause i'm not going to. I don't want to spend a hundred dollars for the doctor to just tell me I have tendonitis (which is what happened last time). Just give me some ideas on what to do to fix this.
I own you, i've rested between offseasons, and it still hurts next season. I don't think resting is gonna help.
