I am 16 years old and back in June I went to a showcase where there were a few colleges there. When I got my turn I was really bringing it. I hit 89 and cruised around 85-87. I threw about 4 or 5 innings. The next day I had the worst pain ever in my shoulder. I just hit the next day and that even hurt. I have never had any problems with my arm, and I have been pitching since I was 9. I took a couple of weeks off and then threw a 7 inning game. next day pretty sore, but I still played during the rest of the summer. Pitched another 15 innings and played SS for another 15 or so games. Then I started basketball and it hurt to try and lift some weights. Labor day weekend was the last time I picked up a baseball until about 3 weeks ago. I took a good round of BP and warmed up, did some long toss and took some ground balls and some easy throws. 1 week later I did the same thing. After both times my shoulder felt fine while I was throwing and the next day. I estimate that I threw around 100 innings this year between high school and summer. I shoot the 3 with no pain and my shoulder feels great. I went to 3 different physical therapist and they think its tendionitis. They said my range of motion was to good and if I had a tear or something they said I wouldnt be able to do or tolarate some of the test. My fear is that when I start next season I might not be ready. I am already talking to some colleges and my junior year I need to be ready. Should I try and get a MRI just to ease my mind and be safe?
Sorry to be so long...
