Painful shoulder overuse injuries that occur in throwing a ball sports i.e baseball, cricket, rugby, volley ball, tennis etc.
There are various parts of your shoulder that can be injured from your throwing procedure, your pain can be anything from a local pain near the shoulder joint, to a spreading pain that travels up your shoulder and neck or down into your arm.
Being an overuse injury, it is caused by repeated trauma rather than a specific incident.
The minimum time for recovery from rotator cuff tendonitis or a small tear is generally two to four weeks treatment and exercises, and tears can be a minimum four months.
Surgery:
All of the operations for the throwing shoulder — whether it is an operation to tighten the shoulder or to fix a torn labrum — take about three months to heal. Throwers who have these operations on average take nine to 12 months to recover fully for throwing.
