    Shoulder pain while pitching

    Update: We had an xray done today. Doc diagnosed her with a growth plate fracture as I suspected initially. Ordered zero use of her arm for a month and then take another xray to see where we are at. Looks like a long road ahead, but at least we have something definitive and can move forward now.

    Pitching strategy/mentality

    Several months ago I read a thread about pitching strategy/mentality. There was a link in the thread to an external source that I really want DD to read. It covered paying attention to batter position and swing weaknesses. Also, watching the on deck batter, as well as several other ideas. I...

    Good luck to your DD. I guess the silver lining is that she is able to rest without missing game time.

    Shoulder pain while pitching

    That does indeed help. We ice the area 3 times per day, stretching, exercises from ortho and core workout each day. Also do strength training bands every other day making sure not to do any exercise that causes pain. We do not use heat though. Should we? Also, would an MRI show a tendon...

    Thank you for your opinion. Would an MRI show a labrum tear?

    She does not have pain while brushing her hair. I will definitely request an MRI. I would expect them to order one anyway since there has been no improvement.

    They did not do any imaging. The only movements in her ROM that produce pain are when she has her arm straight out in front horizontal and raises to vertical with resistance and also with arm horizontal to the side, elbow bent at 90° and horizontal as well, then rotating forearm from horizontal...

    Shoulder pain while pitching

    Update: We did get in to ortho 3 weeks ago. She was diagnosed with deltoid tendonitis. We were given daily exercises to do and were told we could continue softball activity as long as the pain does not exceed a 3 on the scale. As of Monday, we can get 5 full speed pitches in (after...

    Shoulder pain while pitching

    Thank you everyone for all of the replies. Little leaguers shoulder has been mentioned several times by others that I have consulted and that is actually what I feel it is. I know we will not be able to get in to ortho right now since it is not an emergency, but treatment for each condition...

    Shoulder pain while pitching

    She has pitched a few seasons of rec and had one tournament of travel ball in the fall. No action since switching to IR. Our travel ball season was supposed to start the last weekend of April, but that is obviously not happening here in Indiana. I had initially suspected biceps tendonitis...

    Shoulder pain while pitching

    DD is 10 and has been pitching for a year and a half. She had been taught HE until I discovered DFP. We began the switch to IR in November. Toward the end of February she began having pain. She has pain only at the location of my thumb in the picture. It is not superficial pain, I have to...
