FP,

Please talk to your parents very soon about seeing an orthopaedist who specializes in shoulders and elbows. Depending on your health insurance, you may have to visit your family doctor first for a referral.

Try not to imagine the worst about your shoulder pain. A SLAP tear is a pretty serious injury for a pitcher, and there's no reason for you to focus on that before seeing a doctor. Many shoulder problems can be corrected with physical therapy, exercise, stretching, and rest.

If the orthopaedist diagnoses something serious, I encourage you or your parents to ask people on this message board for referrals to the best doctors in your area.

Good luck, and keep us posted.
