Elbow problems when throwing a baseball

I have had issues in the past when I throw BP or play a lot of adult softball or whatever with my elbow being tender after. Slight pain for a few days after, but nothing horrible. More of an annoyance than anything. Been having to throw a whole lot the past few weeks. Arm has been hurting for about a week.
Fast forward to tonight. I threw another BP. My elbow starting hurting, as usual, but I finished it out. I picked up a bat afterwards and was starting to hit infield. Hit a fly ball to left field and felt a really sharp pain, like a shocking in my elbow. Dropped the bat and was done. Now it's kind of like a burning sensation in my elbow.
Pain is on the inside of my elbow. Anybody have any clue what the problem could be, or what I should do to help relieve the pain?

Tendinitis and mainly rest will help. Took me several weeks for mine to go away.

I had to warm up at least 30 mins before pitching BP for my kids teams. If I didn't I would beam a few kids and my arm hurt for days. 
I remember hearing the kids before they stepped in the batter's box, "I hope coach J warmed up!"

Sounds like you need Tommy John surgery. That's gonna be about a year of rehab.

Your mom taught you to throw.

Could be something simple as tendinitis... Could be a ruptured ucl. might want to get it looked at just in case.

You're not throwing the ball right

My tendonitis is so bad I can't even straighten my arm out. You can get a wrap that helps.

Just give it up man. You were meant for a different career and that's okay. And quit throwing next to those electronic signs that tell you your MPH in the neighborhood.

I don't think it has as much to do with not throwing right now as much as not throwing correctly when I was younger. Or probably throwing curve balls at 11 years old.

1. Gunsight 2. L. 3. Put it on a shelf 4. Throw. 5. Finish across your body to your other thigh.

tennis elbow?
Posted on 4/15/16 at 11:18 pm to Hold That Tiger 10
That's what I felt before being told my next stop would be Tommy John.

I have a torn rotator cuff from baseball that I've never had surgery on... limits me on a lot of stuff like lifting weights, throwing baseballs, etc...
it sucks for the most part

That's what I was afraid of, but was hoping for more along the lines of tendinitis. Not that I would actually get surgery for that. Would actually needing it cause any problems outside of throwing a baseball?

Well it's certainly not that.
Posted on 4/15/16 at 11:24 pm to Hold That Tiger 10
Are you sure? Could be a slight tear which is my issue although it has sorta healed at this point.

Isn't rotator cuff shoulder related?
Posted on 4/15/16 at 11:28 pm to Hold That Tiger 10
Can still affect the elbow...

If it is ucl or tommy John and you play golf....well good luck. That's why I got mine fixed because it would hurt like hell just doing everyday things.
Btw... I ruptured my ucl around 99-00. Got it operated on in '11. Made a difference.
