It may be because you play so often, it's hurting the joint, sort of like tennis elbow, only with your shoulder. You also might want to go to the doctor and see if they have something that could help with the pain. [ l0stiNth0uGht020's advice column | Ask l0stiNth0uGht020 A Question ]

hope i could help [ ~xAskMeAnythingx~'s advice column | Ask ~xAskMeAnythingx~ A Question ]

karenR answered Tuesday April 19 2005, 12:53 am: Sound's like you could have some tendonitis in your shoulder. Tell your doctor and see if he/she can't tell you how to remedy it. It can get painful after awhile so take some ibuprophen or other anti inflammatory type pain reliever. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

so try that for like 2 days. and see if it get any better.

dwarp answered Monday April 18 2005, 8:54 pm: Your cartilidge may be deteriorating from doing the same swinging motion over and over again. I don't know, my shoulder did that during the marching band season, but that was just because I was losing some weight rapidly and gaining muscle. It may just be that your body is growing in a lot of different ways, and your growth plates are getting messed up. Whatever, go to a doctor and he or she will be able to give you a better answer.
