I was at batting practice for a softball league. It is a slow pitch league, so the balls were coming in high. One pitch came high and inside and when I swung I felt a small sting in my shoulder. The pain went away, and a few pitches later, another high and inside pitch came and I swung again at it. Another sting hit was felt (much more pain) and it ended me.

The doc said if the pain doesn't go away by Monday, then I need to get an MRI done. And the pain hasn't gone away, though it feels much better.

Right now the only movements that hurt it is when I put my arm out laterally and point my thumb down. Which is the test I did at the doc's office. But I can raise my shoulder up without any more pain. And if I try and take a swinging motion such as one in baseball or golf, I can feel some strain on it.

rest it and see what happens. see if it starts to feel better.

have you iced it at all?
