Thank you so much! I have been having on and off pain on the inside of my elbow for the last month or so. I looked up test for Torn UCL and this is the first thing that came up. I did the test and it didn't hurt. However, the inside of my elbow hurts worse after throwing for long periods of time (pitching and throwing from the outfield). Do you happen to know why this is happening?

He has a point. Are you testing for range of motion?

[@universenerdd]

He did it several times

@@jefflang77testing the range, testing pain also, you shouldn’t be feel pain with the tests he did if to you (like the guy here) with these exercises, this is the see where the injury is and where to get the x-rays and so on
