It is very difficult to know how injured a ball player is without examination by a doctor. Sometimes, even that is not sufficient when it comes to possible major injuries, as an x-ray or MRI may be necessary. Of course, that is for extreme cases and quite costly. Most sore armed players overcome the soreness with a little tender loving care.
Whatever the situation, baseball coaches often have to figure out how to handle kids that report injuries. The most common and often toughest to diagnose is the sore arm. It is not an easy dilemma because many kids mistake a tired arm as sore, or have a "sore arm" when they are not playing well. It is a dilemma because many teams need players to play, as roster sizes are often limited at the youth levels.
