rotator cuff soreness

Yeah I have kinda had this problem and I just decided to shut her down. It seems to me that my shoulder pops alot. But when I play long toss now, I feel alot better. So I really don't know how to explain it or what to tell you.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to see an Orthopedic, one who specializes in sport medicine. Get an opinion from a professional. Ask the doctor if he could recommend an athletic trainer and/or strength and conditioning specialist, preferably one who has experience with pitchers, best, one who has pitched. These professionals can check your mechanics and recommend a regiment that can strengthen the muscle groups that support the shoulder (and elbow), etc. Good luck.

Great points you make

Shoulder soreness is nothing to fool around with--- sometimes rest and therapy can heal it

I would ask how do you know it's your rotator cuff. If you havent had it diagnosed then that's your first priority.

Some soreness is to expected after a pitching outing. But continued soreness throughout the season even in-between starts after 3 or 4 days of rest would be considered problematic.

Don't mess around...go see an orthopedic specialist just to make sure you haven't torn something in your shoulder.

Baseball today-- I went to the doc last week and all he said was that I had a small shoulder impingement from lifting and he rubbed it out and boy do I feel great.

IP, go see a sports ortho.

Sounds like a type 1 impingement. That's good.
Stay away from bench press and overhead presses.
