I tried out for a baseball league a couple of years ago and finally decided to go to a doctor for it, and it turns out I have impingement (sp). I have really knobby collar bone where it connects to my shoulders, and so the bottom side of the bone is shaped the same way and pushes against all of the tendons around the rotator cuff. It sucks, but....oh well!! ha ha
