Can anyone tell me what my shoulder pain is?!
Question:
Can anyone tell me what my shoulder pain is?
I know for a fact it isnt a muscle because i have a very strong muscular rotator cuff.Ok so this is how i feel the pain. I am a pitcher for starters and i throw a good amount of the time. But i can still throw the baseball very hard. Say i am standing up and my arms to my side. I raise my arm forward in front parallel to the ground. When i turn my hand over like the palm facing outwards the pain occurs around the joint area. Please help
Answers:
When your arm is in front of you (parallel to the ground) and your turn it so that your hand is facing the sky, it's called "pronation."
There are a number of things that could be wrong, and having a strong rotator cuff doesn't exclude the possibility that there's something wrong with the rotator cuff (although, there are about a billion other things that could be wrong, too).
If you're on a sports team, you no doubt have access to an athletic trainer (who is, no doubt, supervised by a sports medicine physician).
Consult the trainer -- he'll probably RICE it . . .Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.
You may consider seeing an orthopedist, many of them specialize in treatment of sports-related injuries.
