My Shoulder Hurts When I Throw A Baseball What Do You Think May Have Happened?

November 13th, 2009 · 9 Comments · Pain

When I move my shoulder in a circular motion i hear a popping noise. Whenever I throw i feel pain in my shoulder. Is this injury minor or serious? What can I do to treat this?

    It is possible that you may have a torn rotator cuff. See an orthopedist. You will probably need an MRI to confirm.

    if you pitch this is normal. i was a pitcher and my arm would hurt a lot after a game. try to ice it afterward. it’s pretty normal for your arm to have that popping type sound when you rotate it. i would talk to your coach and let him know that your in pain so he can reduce how much you throw in practice. if it gets to the point where you can’t throw or the pain isn’t starting to go away i would see a doctor (espicially if your young. you don’t want to throw your arm out early)

    You may have a bone spurs. Its a calcium deposit that can be very painful and over time may cause Arthritis. Go see a doctor.

    Could be your rotator cuff and yes that would be serious. You need to get an MRI to see what the problem is for sure.

    I’d go to the Dr. because it could very well be something serious. Better safe than sorry.
