I started throwing javelin at track practice and have started to feel some pain in my elbow. My sister has experienced the same problem. However, her elbow hyper extends, and mine doesn’t. Is this possibly throwers elbow or tendinitis? How can I prevent this from getting worse?

Overuse injury in my elbow! PLEASE HELP!!!?
I have an overuse injury in my arm. It’s little leaguers elbow. I need to know how to treat it (more than RICE) and how I can repair it. Will physical therapy help me at all? I am just finishing up my track season (I throw shotput, javelin and discus) and soon I will be participating in softball. I’ve been told not to do it but I really want to. Every time I throw I get an intense pain on the medial side of my elbow. I love sports and I would absolutly hate to give them up but if I have to I will because I want to be able to play tennis in the fall.

PLEASE HELP ME!
I’ve tried braces for my arm but they mess up the way I throw.

Thanks for all the help!
