Yes, ice will help. Here is an article on icing your arm. http://topvelocity.net/more-important-info-on-ici... You need to develop your biceps and triceps more. When are muscles mass decreases from pitching this puts more of the stress of pitching in the joint. You need a good strength and conditioning program for pitchers to help rebuild this mass and strength. Check out the 3X Pitching Velocity program here. http://topvelocity.net

Great tips. I pitch in a 30+ league now and actually just finished a 7 inning complete game. After each inning of pitching the area between the bicep and tricep of my arm would ache, even throb. When I went back out to throw, no problem. Every once in a while I would feel it on a fastball that got a little loose but by the next pitch no pain. Come back in, and the pain would come back. By the 5th, the pain was much less than before, but was still there. This has actually carried on from last season. I suspect overuse or lack of warming up. Though I ran quite a bit and threw what I thought was enough before taking the mound.

Very little to no pain in the shoulder, except where the bicep tendon is I think. Bicep is sore tonight.

Ice? Any exercise or stretches you might suggest? Bicep tendonitis?

It sounds like you are not warming up enough and not staying warm in between innings. You also have a mechanical issue. You could be not closing your shoulders off enough preventing you from swinging and abusing your arm. If you can post some video for analysis in the forums that would help me see the problem.

JD,

I need more information on your pain. Tell me where it is and when do you feel it the most.

I have this sorta pain EVERY single time I play catch or pitch with my brother. I've had this problem since I was about 13. Im almost 20 now and I still cant shake the pain. I throw a lot harder than I did then and I'd like to pursue a career in baseball, but this pain is so aggrevating, that I dont know if I would be very effective on the mound. Are there any other styles of pitching that could nurse the situation? I a protypical pitcher. 3 pitches, not quite 'straight-over-the-top' delivery, but not side arm. If anyone has any advice at all thank you so much. – JD
