Pain while pitching?

I'm not a trainer, but as a former pitching coach, the diagnosis seems accurate. Stretching and strengthening the back muscles would certainly help, but it sounds like there's something mechanical going on causing an overuse injury.

See a good back specialist who is involved in sports-- no disrespect to trainers and coaches but they/we are not doctors who specialize in this and keep in mind that every body is unique unto itself

Baseball #6-If his back hurts only when he pitches, it is logical that it is a technique problem. If his back is bothering him at other times, there may be more to concern yourself about.

By the way, welcome to HSBBW!

My son had the same problem it was caused by two stress fractures in his lower back,the doctor told me that alot of atheletes have them and think they are muscle strains, the cure was a lot of rest with no activity

2007 season I pitched in pain all year. I always thought it was something to do with my scapular muscles, thought maybe I had strained them in some way and the pain would eventually go away. After finishing the 2007 HS and summer season I decided to get it checked out by my doctor because the pain never went away. I went to my doctor and he sends to an oncologist. after many tests and MRI they still didn't know what was going on. So on August 27 the first day of my senior year of HS I was having sugury to have a Elastofibroma tumor removed from my scapula. Now I pitch pain free! Not trying to scare anyone but if the pain doesn't go away you might want to get it checked out.
