Hurt my arm

I have hurt my arm while batting! I think the pain is in my shoulder but it sometimes hurts in another area, when i try to do tricep streches it hurts and when i put pressure or certain parts of it I get a pain . I am a fast bowler trying to make it into my county team ,I have found I can still bowl a good pace with this injury but im not sure whats wrong with it, it mainly hurts when i try and throw.
I need some advice on any ideas to what i may have done to my arm. Thanks

Hi storm,

Do you remember what you were doing when you first felt the pain?

When you say you feel the pain in your shoulder, do you mean the joint? If so, take a look at http://www.harrowdrive.com/how-to-protect-your-shoulder-from-cricket-injury/ click on my picture and see if you can pinpoint the pain for me.

Re: Hurt my arm

I first felt the pain when i swung for a full toss that was coming quick ,I hit it one handed as it is wide and thats when i felt the pain , the pain seems to be in the back of my arm it hurts like just round the back of my shoulder and down.

From this picture it appears that its my deltoid i have hurt http://www.sports-injury-info.com/image-files/post-shoulder-muscles.jpg

Re: Hurt my arm

If it is the posterior deltoid, you should be fine after a little rest storm.

You need to ice it when it hurts. Is there inflammation? If so, take some ibuprofen.

I know you will not want to rest at the moment but take it easy

Re: Hurt my arm

Sorry storm, I am afraid rest is the only real medicine and it would probably take a few weeks I know this is going to be difficult for you at this stage of the season but do try and get as much as you can.

Re: Hurt my arm

I had the exact same thing with my right shoulder and mine was about the same amount of time ago. However, since I bowl with my left hand, I just took the batting a bit easy and it has very slowly gone away.

That really is good news storm. Don't be tempted to push yourself yet though, it is still vulnerable but it sounds like you'll be going full steam soon.

Re: Hurt my arm

Oh no storm! I am really sorry to hear this, especially at the start of the cricket season. It was still vulnerable though so I am not surprised.

Ice it, take some ibuprofen and rest it a couple of days

Re: Hurt my arm

it is weak around the deltoid and slighty leading onto the tricep.

Re: Hurt my arm

...it is weak around the deltoid and slighty leading onto the tricep.

The whole of the deltoid or just the posterior deltoid?

 

[storm]

Re: Hurt my arm

posterior deltoid sometimes, but also on the acctualy deltoid, i tends to hurt where the tricep starts ad the deltoid ends.

Re: Hurt my arm

The narrow press; if you feel it a little in front too, the posterior press. Get hold of a stability ball and tricep dip off it; it will work your abs too!
