DD was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome at around 12. Under Purple Hand post. It was her glove hand. She is a senior now and when sore normally on her glove side shoulder blade area. I think some of it is genetic and some probably because how much force she uses on her glove hand/arm...
May have been covered. My DD is a pitcher and is going the JUCO route. She should finish her AA during her freshman year. D1 JUCO has housing and she has a full ride. The conference beats a lot of D1 schools. Her team played Auburn, FSU, MS State, UF, AL, FAMU and LSU in the fall and won some...
