May
I play baseball and I pitch. But according to my friend, I threw straight over the top last year, for both playing catch and pitching, but now this year says that I throw a tiny sidearmed for catch and still over the top pitching.
A few weeks ago, I pitched and left the game, and the next day, there was a slight pain, feeling as if it was just under my elbow, like there was a bruise on it, but didn't injured when I pressed on it. Only when I threw again or any other rapid arm movements.
I rested for about 2 weeks, and it got a little superior, only I had summer tryouts yesterday. Right after I played catch and long toss, it came back as strong as ever.
Okay, so if this is tennis elbow (maybe b/c my throw is like the motion of swinging a racket), tell me. If you also know any treatments that don’t relate to surgery or pills, please inform me of that as well. I heard you should rest it and ice it, but is that the best thing to do? It might be, but I don't want to pitch and tear it, forcing me to do surgery, if my healing process isn’t complete.
So please. I don't want to waste my baseball days while I'm still young. I'm only 17, and I don't know if this should be happening. Please tell me the most effective way of self-treatment and how long it will be until I have the ability to safely throw a baseball hard again.
Thanks.
Answer:
If you’ve one, consult your high school sports trainer. He should be able to examine it and advise you much superior than anyone on the web.
If you do not have a trainer, consider seeing a doctor or a chiropractor (They do more than just backs, they're great with sports injuries).
As far as self treatment goes, Ice is great for swelling, but heat can help as well. Think about switching back and forth between the two. Thirty minutes of one, then a break, and then thirty minutes of the other, etc.
Ibuprofen/aspirin/Tylenol could also help to reduce the pain and swelling.

Answer:
Well, I can think of no better place to get a medically sound diagnosis of your problem than YA.
Who needs those doctors to tell us what is wrong and how to treat our medical problems?
In my thought, you have a cursed arm. I recommend making two animal sacrifices to the gods of health and well being, eat five cloves of raw garlic and then sit in a bathtub full of Dr. Pepper fully clothed.
My bill will be arriving in the mail shortly.
Answer:
You should go to see a doctor at first to get a diagnosis, then i'm not sure about surgery but there's not much from the general remedys you can do…rest the arm, ice, hot and cold patches.
There are many available treatments for tennis elbow. These usually start off conservatively and work up to more involved treatments. Non-surgical treatment is successful in over 90 percent of patients.read this it may help…
