I am a sophomore in high school and have been pitching for several years. Recently, I have been throwing an increasing number of curve balls, and have been playing on the varsity tennis team, which practices every day.
When I pitch (especially on curve balls), serve, or hit a forehand, my arm experiences pain on the outside of the arm in between the elbow and shoulder. I ice it and it feels better, but when I pitch,serve, or hit a forehand the next day, it hurts again. Also, my left arm (I’m a lefty pitcher and tennis) feels much weaker when I try to hold things out in front of me. For example, if i take a full gatorade bottle and extend my right arm out, I have no problem keeping it out there for ever. With my left arm, it shakes when I try to hold the bottle out there, and I can’t hold it straight out for long.
I asked the school trainer and she said it was a bicep injury just from over use, or a muscle strain. Is that what it is or could it be something else? Also, what can I do to make the pain go away, or heal the injury?
