I don't know if it is bad. My impression is more that in cases of joint pain in young people, you need to get to the bottom of the problem and not assume that it is OK until an ortho confirms this.

Give it those couple of weeks. If there is still pain, then go to a shoulder specialist. They will then schedule an MRI with dye.
Update. We went to orthopedic today. He said he couldn't see anything on X-ray. He moved her shoulder around and pushed and pulled on it. He said he didn't think it was anything major because she didn't experience any pain when moving it around. Don't need an MRI because even if something major is wrong she's to young for surgery anyway. Referred us to physical therapy. So we will start therapy and see how it goes.
Update. DD is finally starting to pitch again pain free. Lastnight she was able to throw overhand and under hand without pain. We are still not out of the woods yet. She was only throwing about half speed but it was refreshing to be able to throw with her again.We have been in physical therapy for about 4 weeks working on legs and core strength and also strengthening shoulders. She has work hard to get to this point. Hopefully she continues to improve.
