What To Do For The Discomfort In The Shoulder Due To Playing?

Hi, I play Baseball and a few days ago I had a tournament. After the first game I was fine but when I got up in the morning I felt like I can t really throw the ball because it hurts when I extend my shoulder back to throw it. Any suggestions as to what it may be and how long it will take to heal. Thanks. Ps its not that I can t throw a ball properly anymore but it still kind of hurts. Also it has gotten better in about 2 days.

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you

a thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

As you are able to take the proper torque and leverage while throwing the ball there might be ligament sprain or muscle strain in and around the shoulder joint. Until a thorough assessment is performed it is tough to say what is involved as it's a sports related injury case. With the help of the thorough musculoskeletal assessment further management can be planned. Also, a physical therapist will help to regain back the strength and torque for the game .

I wish you a great future in sports.
