Hello people of HSBaseballForum,
I have had persisting shoulder pain for roughly 7 months now and it is demoralizing. I feel I should be performing at a much higher level than I currently am and that simple thought irritates me beyond belief. I have a pain towards the front of my shoulder before I rotate my arm fully to throw the baseball (after external rotation but before internal rotation). Originally I thought the pain simply came from shoulder tightness so I went to a doctor to have the issue cleared. The first doctor believed I had bursitis and the second doctor thought my shoulder was in well repair but hypermobile and weak. As waiting should have cured the bursitis, and I followed a rigorous rehab routine in an effort to be ready for the upcoming spring season, I have no reason to be unable to perform right now. This whole situation infuriates me beyond belief. As I am unable to play, I am getting a third opinion on my shoulder and considering going into surgery. The thing that confuses me is that my MRI(with contrast) came back negative for a labrum tear. RIght now, I feel the current diagnosis by the third doctor may be a labrum injury or bursitis which would require surgery. I am at a crossroads right now and I feel that I am drowning. If anyone has any insight I would appreciate it
