I finally found out why I've been having so much trouble with my elbow. I have been having pain anytime I extend my elbow, push a door open, or try to throw the ball for my dogs. Turns out I have a torn ulnar collateral ligament. I guess it's something they see with javelin throwers and pitchers. But I did take a fall last winter on the ice and that may have done it for me. What's the best way to treat this problem this late in the game? 29 weeks 6 days ago 177
I'm having surgery next week for a medium-sized chunk of bone and cartilage that got knocked out of my elbow. It's an OCD injury. What are my chances for getting back into pitching for my team and how soon? 29 weeks 6 days ago 156
