SCENARIO: A 33-yeаr-оld recreаtiоnаl league baseball pitcher repоrts to your sports medicine clinic complaining of right shoulder pain that has been ongoing for some time. However, it has reached the point where it is beginning to significantly affect his performance. History He tells you that his shoulder pain has gradually progressed over the past three months. He is in a recreational baseball league that plays an average of three games per week. On average, he pitches approximately 15 innings per week. He has noticed a considerable decrease in his pitching velocity over the past month. He describes his pain as usually being dull (2/10) and located across the “front” and “side” of his shoulder but becomes sharp (7/10) with overhead activities. He has noticed that his shoulder has begun to ache at night, especially when he sleeps on his right side or with his right arm up over his head. He does not recall a specific episode that caused his shoulder to begin hurting. He is employed as an accountant and has no work-related complaints. He recalls a vague history of several minor shoulder injuries playing high school and college baseball but does not remember specific diagnoses. He has not sought medical attention for any shoulder injury since he stopped playing college baseball roughly a decade ago. He denies any pain in his neck, elbow or hand and reports no neurological symptoms.
