Fall softball practice started in July, and ever since that first day of practice, I have been expiriencing major shoulder pain on my throwing arm. I brushed it off as sorness, which would make sense. I went from throwing 2 hours a week to throwing for 2 hours a day 5-6 days a week. I have been playing through the pain this whole time, but then my shoulder started hurting when I would do normal things, such as, playing my piccolo, putting dishes away, brushing my teeth, combing my hair. It made me really worried about if I was going to be able to continue playing.
So, I went to see the trainer and he said I have somesort of tendonistis in my shoulder. (I wasn't really listening to what kind of tendonitis it was, I was too busy focusing on his mono-tone, high, whispery voice...it was driving my crazy!). The good news is that I will be able to finish out the rest of this softball season, but the bad news is that after softball season I'm not allowed to do any throwing or heavy lifting with my arm until after Christmas break. I was pretty depressed about it, but my mom joyfully suggested that during that period of time I could do ab workouts and run a lot to get into shape. I rolled my eyes and laughed at her fail of an attempt to make me feel better. It looks like from October to January I will be heavily training for the Triathlon I plan on doing next summer!
As for right now, I play through the pain. I have to ice my shoulder everyday after practice, and I have to do shoulder exercises that make me look flat out dumb, but oh,well. :) It will "supossedly" help me in the long run!
P.S. I successfully obtained my School Permit this week! Driving to school, a shoulder injury, Encore, and homecoming all in the same week!?! CRAZY!
