Wow, I was going to suggest rest but since you mentioned that it started last year, I wouldn%26#039;t hesitate to go to the doctor.Most often the growth plate gets a small fracture called a stress fracture. The growth plate is a separate piece of fibrous cartilage at the end of the bone. It stays
%26quot;soft%26quot; until the bone has grown as much as it%26#039;s going to. Then the growth or end plate hardens and connects with the rest of the bone and can no longer be seen on an X-ray.
Baseball pitchers around age 14 are affected the most. Pain with throwing is the main symptom. An X-ray shows an increase in the space between the bone and the growth plate at the end of the bone. Any damage to the growth plate can cause a delay in growing. Treatment is rest, physical therapy, and sometimes, surgery. 100% 1 Vote
