I m a 13 year old female and have been experiencing excruciating pain in my elbow for over a year. It first started during last year s softball season. I am a catcher. After the season ended, the pain did as well. I continued throughout the year to compete in several athletics. I am an avid athlete, and I only feel this pain during softball. If I continue to be active when the pain begins, it goes away, but if i continue to participate, it intensifies to the point where I cannot bend my arm without excruciating, almost crippling pain. Please help.
