Baseball players....sore elbow??

[thefantom1]

What do any of you do for a sore throwing elbow??? I play a lot of softball and my throwing elbow is killing me... Also what is a good exercise to strengthen the elbow area along with the shoulder??? Of course I mean strictly for baseball..not bodybuilding... thanks

Whenever I got tendonitis in my throwing elbow, which was pretty much the start of every season, I just iced it and tried to rest it as much as possible. Make sure you're warming up properly and slowly. It eventually went away after a couple of weeks of ice, resting it when I can (i.e. no extra throwing), and making sure I warmed up correctly.
