Tendinitis

also that pain is in my throwing arm, near my elbow.

sorry to say nymets224, but it probably is tendinitis...i had the same problem towards the end of this past summer. I was told to stop throwing for 4 weeks, and im now doing some rehab work pitching for my HS fall team. Still some soreness, but its gradually going away as my arm strength gets back. But you may want to get a MRI just to make sure.
To get better, during the period when you are not throwing, build up some arm strength, especially in your forearms. Wrist Curls, Wrist Strengtheners for your forearms, do some bicep curls, tricep excersises, etc. Also do your normal shoulder routine. You dont want to have the reverse problem next time you go out and throw, where your elbow is fine but your shoulder is hurting.

Two weeks should be plenty of time. If the pain keeps up then see a Dr. so they can get you on some anti inflammatory. Make sure that you are stretching out your arm real good before throwing.

NYMETS- go, go, go, run don't walk to a Dr. (orthopedist). don't diagnose yourself and risk your arm. With no disrespect to them, don't seek advice of your coach, your teams/school trainer or any "casual" observers.

Many moons ago I thought I'd sprained my wrist and let it go for awhile and played in two games afterward. Turned out to be broken in 5 places and has NEVER been the same.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo to the doctor.

NYMets, you have a message

A few years back my son developed pain in his pitching arm. He had never experienced pain (it was by the elbow). We immdeiately took him to a doctor who specializes in sports medicine and he was diagnosed with tricep tendinitis, result from throwing a new pitch he had taught himself (bad mechanics). Even in it's early stages he was shut down immediately (no fall ball season), received therapy and in Decemeber put on a pitching program to strenghten his arm for two months before HS ball began.
I wouldn't take anyone's advice or wait, you might lose your most important baseball season.

NYMets ...

Have to agree 100% with Tiger Paw Mom and HeyBatter ... get to an orthopedist for a diagnosis. It could be one of several things, depending on where the pain is, what point of your pitching it occurs, etc. Could be something as mild as a strained muscle, could be tendinitis, could be nerve damage.

A good orthopedist can diagnose without the expense of an MRI, etc. If the doctor needs the additional testing, he/she will order it for confirmation.

Bottom line ... go to the doctor !!!!!

Hey i finally got that MRI after weeks of waiting and not throwing i found out that i have nothing wrong with me. Even though theres no problem with my are based on the MRI, it still hurts when i throw and im confused at what it could be and why is it hurting if theres nothing wrong with it. If anyone has any ideas that would be great thanx

NY,
Good news is the MRI showed nothing serious.
You may still be sugffering form a sprain or tendinitis (which takes a long time to heal). I would suggest checking back with your doctor for some course of action which may include more anti inflammatories or therapy.

Did you see an orthopedist or your primaty care physician? If you did not see an orthopedic surgeon, go see one. There is still pain.

Rest it about 6 weeks. It'll do wonders!
