Shoulder pain.

Its not uncommon to have arm pain from time to time, but it should definetly be viewed as a warning sign. Go see a specialist and get advice first hand from a qualified professional. With any luck the hoops season will give your shoulder the rest it needs.

-good luck

How does a therapist , without seeing the patient make an assessment like that?

Good question, tr.

Jimi/dee gives good advice. Go see a good sports doc just to be safe.

ok thanks for your help i will definately see someone soon if the problem persists once i start throwing again in early january.

Texan/StarDad,

You wouldn't know good advice if it slapped you upside the head. The OP said his father asked the doctor, not therapist. Pain might require some type of therapy, rest or a combination of both. A cortisone shot might be another option later down the line depending on what is specifically wrong.

Throwing a baseball is a motion not naturally associated to the shoulder joint, rotator cuff and labrum. If you have the time and resources and it bothers you to the point it concerns your future, definately have it looked at. If anything, at least for the peace of mind.

Jimi- Replying in a civil manner is fundamental as well.

My dad, while at a physical therapy for my grandma asked the doctor about the problem.

There's a world of difference between that and going to see a sports doc. Good advice, dee, Texan.

The real Jimi never had an attitude like you have!!! And you can trust me on that
