My arm starts to hurt while throwing a football?

I do believe you may have what we call tendinitis. When you play ball you are  working your tendons , and if you play allot, you may be over using the same tendons causing friction which then causes the tendon to swell. Very pain full, I have this same condition in my shoulder. doctors usually will recommend an anti-inflammatory cream for this. Here's the crappy thing though....If this is what's wrong, unfortunately it will cause you problems off and on for probably most of your life.\n\nThe best thing for it is rest. Give your arm a break.

i agree with the first answer see a doctor and try to do some workouts with the arm getting it wet and see if it goes numb

It sounds like you have a slightly pinched nerve.  Try hot pads on it, and an anti-inflammatory like Motrin.

For a QB they may have a long pad that goes from their wrist to almost their elbow.  That is for the QB to play calls.  It includes all the plays for the offense.

you can't really take anything, other than maybe an aspirin if the pain gets too much. Just try stretching more before and after you play. The pain will usually go away in a few days.

The best way is to look at the target, usually the stomach or lower.  Slide your head to one side an instant before hitting the target.  (If you don't it is a spearing penalty and more important leaves you open to serious neck injuries.)  Watch for the play to redirect you with his hands.  \n\nRemember that football is about leverage not size.  If you are lower you will move the other person.

I was playing linebacker in a football game, and instead of wrapping the player up like i was supposed to i pushed him exteremely hard instead. And of course, he happened to land in the endzone. :(

It really depends on how much your throwing and how often. Even with a normal baseball if you throw too much or too hard you can throw out and injure your arm. So as long as you do it in moderation you should be fine. Also if your arm begins to hurt, tell the your trainer immediately, otherwise you can seriously hurt your arm.

well considering that your receiver is just back from surgery why don't you run the ball more. and maybe pretend to throw it and then to a quarterback sneak. you'd be surprised how much you can fool the other team but don't do it so often cause then the other team will catch on. get your receiver in the game and just throw the ball to him and make him run it out of bounds until you reach your end zone and then just sneak it into the end zone...believe me it works

Well, before you started throwing with friends; how regularly did you throw the football?  If you are doing strenous work every day, there will be plenty of pain that can get worse.  I would recommend taking about a week off and then gradually start throwing more.  You lose a week but wouldn't you rather be healthy for a long-term or never at all?  \n\nMy guess would be lactic acid build-up.

Consult a sports medicine doctor and find out how to strengthen your shoulder muscles.\n\nAlso could be some kind of nerve problem, but I suspect it's a strength problem.\n\nGood Luck

sounds like you've pulled or strained a muscle

Before you take any reps in practice make sure you progress though a good warm up routine to get that shoulder loose. Begin by making sure your throwing technique is sound.  proper weight distribution of the feet, trunk rotation and foot placement are places to begin.  If your new to QB make sure not to throw across the body and pull your opp arm through the throw as if you were opening a shower curtain with the elbow up.  Practice coming out of the snap with the ball up high and throwing elbow up.  Power is lost when the throwing elbow drops close to the body before the throw.  You can strap a ball on your side to keep your elbow from dropping if this is a problem.  Pronate the hand (thumb) down when throwing.  Remember to use a consistent throwing technique and stay discipline (don't get lazy and sloppy) when throwing the ball.  Working out on weight will help.  Shoulders, triceps and forearms are good areas to train.  Work the abs and back for a stronger trunk rotation and don't forget to work the legs and hips.  Trowing power is a full body deal and the key is to build energy from the feet and and carry it all the way to the fingertips.  The weights will give you the strength and the technique will apply it.

You can cause permanent damage just by breaking it!!!  Depending on how bad and where you broke it.  There's also ligiments (sp) and tendons that could be damaged.  If you have any dreams of playing professional baseball (or using that arm on a regular basis) you should see a doctor immediatley!!

Just keep taking grounders.  Get in front of the ball.  Keep your glove down.  Watch the ball all the way into your glove.  Use two hands.  Don't worry about making the throw; you have to field the ball first. Don't get nervous. Just keep practicing and work on the fundamentals that I described.

Having been a runner (non-professional) for almost twenty years, your answer will be a definite no, but don't panic. The pains are caused by any number of things from dehydration to what and when you ate last. My suggestion would be to see a doctor who specializes in sports medicine. If its dehydration, you may be over-running your body's preparedness for the activity and the solution may be as simple as increasing your daily water intake. The doctor should be able to give a more detailed answer.

If your feeling pain, there are 2 major things you need to look at.\n1st: the ball you are using maybe a store brand with a hard cover instead of a good brand ball. If your under 12 make sure to use a tachikara light, if your over 12 use a soft touch by molten, they will take alot of the sting away.\n2: if your using a good ball already and you still have pain then chances are you are "attacking" the ball as it gets to you. You need to learn how to accept the ball as it comes to you. Your arms are the least used body part in volleyball. The arms should stay still and your legs and body are what moves. If your using your arms to push the ball to your taget then stinging will always be there.\nIf neither of these things help, I know some people who wear cut off socks on there arms during warm ups and non competitive games. It will soften the blow until you are playing correctly. \nThe right ball and body movements will take away all the pain, red marks might still be present as you are using your body to contact an object and move it in a new direction, but the pain should not be present!\nGood Luck the Coaching staff!\nPS: serving rule #1, never say I cannot serve, instead be confident that anyone can serve a ball. Again this comes from the legs more than arms. Proper footwork is nessecary unless your 6' 3" 200 lbs, then you can probaly just stand and hit it over. 2 things, body movemnt = momentum, momentum = power. Second thing the straighter the arm the better. Your arm is like a catpault the straighter you make it the easier it will be..
