shoulder impingement syndrome
hi guys,
i have had shoulder pain in my bowling arm (right shoulder) for the best part of two seasons and have recently been told by my doctor that it may be impingement syndrome.
i am aware that certain exercises can help this out and just wanted to know if anyone knew of where i could find out how to do them correctly? my doctor was not very clear on it. perhaps a video or something along those lines?
the pain is fairly sharp and i feel it at its worst at the top of my bowling action as i let go of the ball. i have an extremely upright arm at the point of delivery and occasionally it will even move past the perpendicular (more to the left side of my body over my head), the pain is again worse on these particular deliveries. i am making an effort to change my action to become more side arm and this seems to help, however there will always be the occasional delivery which i seem to revert back to the old way. the pain then comes back and remains for the whole session.
the day after i will often be unable to do simple things without pain, such as writing in class at uni. putting physical pressure on it is also painful. would you recommend getting an MRI? i opted not to just yet as a few bills have hit me all at once! i should probably mention also i am a fast bowler, around 6ft 3 and slim build
thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated
