My arm hurts from throwing at my elbow and forearm. how can i fix it without surgery?It has been consistant.?

Answer 1

Yeah, it sounds like tendinitis. I got it in my elbow from surfing. It hurts like heck. The doctor told me to keep it immobilized in a sling for 6 weeks. That was damn near impossible to do but I managed a couple weeks in the sling and then I just made sure not to over use it for a while. It healed up and never came back. But if you keep up with the same routine without giving your tendons a chance to heal you can really mess things up, at which point you'll need surgery. Take it easy for a while and allow yourself to heal up. I suppose icing/heating it might help with the discomfort.

I'd be very careful about taking anti-inflammatories. Not only are they terrible for your body (kidneys and liver) but they do not aid the healing process. They will simply reduce your swelling which will help relieve the pain and increase your mobility, but in turn can set you up for way bigger problems down the road. It will allow you to use your damaged tendons when they should be at rest and you'll make everything worse. Unfortunately, swelling is your body's natural way of immobilizing a joint so it can heal.

Answer 2

this is called "little league elbow" and it is caused by throwing improperly.... you can also get "tennis elbow" from hitting fore hand shots improperly and too often. one is on the inside of the elbow , the other is pain on the outside of the elbow. the cure for both is the same, and it works ...i lived with little league elbow for many seasons because my mother taught me to play ball [ lol , but true] here goes.... give your arm lots of rest,[ maybe see a doctor for some meds]. BUT, no more throwing! put it in a loose sling when you can even when lieing in bed. once the pain goes away start lifting light weights. simple wrist curles while you're sitting watching tv will do the trick. hang your wrist over your knee while sitting , laying your forearm atop your thigh and curl 5 lbs dumb bells [you can slowy over a few weeks go to 10-15 lbs] also do this with a reverse grip [knuckles facing up] this will keep you from ever getting tennis/ little league elbow again. it will also help strenghten your wrists for hitting... and oh yeah , work on your throwing machanics and always run to warm up your body before you throw.... and this aint my mother talking ... i've been doing this since 1956!

Answer 3

Go and get it checked out Arthritis: Tennis Elbow may be one cause Elric this gives great pain and is inflamed inside muscle areas and tendons. Arm pain connected to fingers too may be this This pain is sometimes called brachalgia, a 'pinched nerve', or cervical radiculopathy, it is very similar to sciatic pain but affecting a nerve in the neck rather than the lumbar spine. Irritation or compression of a nerve in the neck leads to some pain in the neck with more severe pain spreading down the arm. The pain can also be associated with tingling (parasthesia) and numbness in the arm and hand, and occasionally weakness in the arm You need to be checked over E and let me know how you get on

Answer 4

if you r young,like i think, it sounds like you r throwing a lot of curves.this is verry bad for young arms. the muscle in your forearm is not developed yet[16-16 1/2] a ball with a little natural movment,or, just holding a seam or across a seam will be enough in little league or h/s. believe me, throwing curves as a youngster has ruined a lot of promising arms. as far as a fix, i'm not a doc, but ice for any swelling,and ,always take the time to warm-up and get loose verry slowly. hope this helps you pk

Answer 5

You likely have a case of tendinitis. Take advil/aleve regularly and rest your arm no throwing. Ice every day. You may consider reviewing how you are throwing. The strain on your elbow is probably indicitive of a problem in your mechanics.

Answer 6

I have that when I bowl (you know bowling), anyways, mine was always consistant until I got used to it. I over did it and that is what made it hurt, called tennis elbow, in my case bowlers elbow....lol

Answer 7

stretch really well before you throw, and ice your arm afterwards, even if it doesnt hurt, you should probably not be throwing for a while,and if it hurts really bad then take some pain killers or something

Answer 8

Stop trying to throw a curve.

Stretch better.

Stop playing with yourself in bed at night!

Answer 10

stretch better before you throw and while you throw...elbow tendonitis ain't fun, so make sure you don't get that.
