Takes time to heal: Have you tried cross-training in another sport and not using your shoulder to throw overhand for 6 weeks? Musculoskeletal injuries take time to heal. Hopefully, it is just a strain or sprain. Please follow up with your treating physician for a thorough physical exam of the shoulder.
