Any one have any experience with this.
My son has thrown a lot this fall and I’m shutting him down. I also will have him see a Doctor but have to go through the HMO hassle.
He has never thrown harder in his life and has been awesome behind the plate. His shoulder gets stiff (never had this before) the next day but he claims no pain. When rested he says his tendons in his shoulder almost feel like he has a dislocated shoulder – very loose. He has never had a dislocated shoulder but that is his best description. I have let this go on for a couple of weeks now (my bad) but when he throws he looks fine and says he feels fine.
Part of me thinks he is just pushing himself more and some discomfort would be normal – the other part of me is scared that this is a symptom of something else.
Slight background: 15 ½ year old, 6 ft 185 lbs, POP under 2.1 – now maybe less. Last two week schedule – Rec like team game on Thursday, Practice Tues or Wed, PG events on weekend – catches 1 game on Friday and 1 on Saturday. Don’t know if this has anything to do with his shoulder but the PG events have been all wood and he plays all 4 games on weekend (DH on non-catching games).
When we go to the Doctor I would like to be as informed as possible and ask the right questions. Any advice or experience with this?
