Help! Shoulder pains!
I have been having shooting pains in my shoulder for a couple days. I am a softball pitcher and I use it quite often. It's in the area of my rotater cuff. Throbbing pain, shooting pain, random. Any advice as to what this could be? Someone told me it's possibly a torn rotater cuff which could require surgery! Help!

Rather than ask those of us who are not trained to make a medical diagnoses what is wrong. Would it not make sense to seek out the opinion of a medical professional before you do a permanent harm to your shoulder? I am not a doctor but I have friends in the fire Department who have torn rotator cuffs while working. In every instance the longer they put off treatment or even diagnose of the injury the more damage that was done. One firefighter put off having his rotator cuff tended to that he was put out on disability for his injury as after the repair he had severely restricted movement.
My advice is to see a doctor, one that specializes in sport medicine injuries. Do it now before the injury worsens. Never hide an injury from a coach, parent or employer for in the end you and only you will pay the price for hiding the injury.

its probably inflamed from overuse.. try warming it everytime u use it for softball and stretch it... and in the meantime id just take ibuprofen and ice it... if it doesnt go away get it checked out
