My doctor thinks I did something to my rotator cuff?!


Question: My doctor thinks I did something to my rotator cuff!?
I'm only 14 and I LOVE LOVE LOVE softball!. It's important to me, I'm the 3rd baseman, but I think I out threw my arm because we had practice every single day and I threw fast from 3rd to first over and over again!. Anyway, I kept playing on it and it was sore, but now It hurts to throw and it swells!. I'm really hoping I didn't rip the rotator cuff, is it possible to strain it, or maybe I strained a different muscle!? It hurts around my collar bone on my right side, and the bottom of my right shoulder into the top of my armpitt!. I've been taking aleve for a few days, and resting it for a week!. I missed 3 games, and I want to get better SOON! Should I just keep resting it, or making it stronger and flexible by stretching!. Please answer if you know what you're talking about or have expirienced it, because I don't want to mess it up any further!.

school nurse thought I strained a muscle, Doc thought I messed up rotator cuff, neither was positive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
