Hi everyone,
About a month and a half ago I was diagnosed with a torn UCL from baseball in my right elbow. I went back to the doctor after I had my MRI and the MRI was negative, and I apparently just had tendonitis.
I took a strong anti-inflammatory med twice each day for a month and didn't play any baseball. We started having summer practice again and in our first game, I pitched an inning in relief. I threw hard and the only pain I had was under my shoulder blade, probably from not throwing much over the last month.
Yesterday, I was pitching. I had a quick 7 pitch inning and felt fine, but in the second inning, I had to throw a lot of pitches and my arm started killing me. I finish up the inning but it was a similar pain from before. A stiff, tight, radiating pain from the inside of my funny bone that radiates to the middle of my elbow and up the underside of my arm.
It affects everything I do and I've about had it with pitching. It only starts if I throw consistently..

hard (like pitching.) If I'm playing second base or right field, it doesn't hurt at all because I don't have to make a lot of throws. I'm not even 16, so I don't want to ruin my arm for the rest of my life. I've taken aspirin, the anti-inflammatory meds, and iced my elbow + heated it. What else can I do?
