Hi, It is possible that you might have developed ulnar collateral ligament injury due to repetitive throwing motion of the forearm seen in bowlers or short put players etc. So, you may also have joint effusion, may be due to arthritis or infection. You may need the ligament repair. Use pain killer limitedly. Use cold and warm compression. If symptoms not improved please consult your orthopedician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
