Proper rest.
And make sure the next time you go out and throw, you warm up slowly, and do not deviate from the proper throwing motion.
Rotate the shoulders ALWAYS.

He threw with his right hand.
the doctors put a cast on an arm or leg to immobilize the limb so it could heal adequately.
You should take it to the vet instead of trying to do it at home.
no, the arms mend faster
Joba Chamberlain first came up and was used as a Relief pitcher and mainly became a set-up main for Mariano Rivera and pitching one inning (the 8th). The Yankees wanted to protect such a valuable young pitching prospect so they developed strict rules for how and when Joba could pitch and how long he rested in between appearance. These rules were around when he first came up last year and were named the "Joba Rules" by fans and reporters. This year the team decided to change Joba back from a reliever to a starter. However in order to protect his arm and health they decided to slowly increased the amount of pitches he threw. Thus he made appearance with 30 pitches allowed and a start where the limit was around 70 pitches. Basically the Yankees are limiting Joba's pitches in an attempt to prevent him from tiring out his arm and trying to get him used to throwing as many pitches as a starter.
Using a warm compress will help to speed the healing process. It should heal on its own in hours of the injury or within days.
Yes, studies say that pitching sidearm can damage your arm, making it weaker, meaning less velocity in your pitches and throws.
yes Greg Harris did all the time
This is a phrase that means that all a pitcher is throwing is fastballs. This is not a good strategy because batters will be able to adjust and hit the ball easily because fastballs have no movement. Also this would tire out a pitchers arm a lot fast than if they threw different pitches.
I have never heard of a rule that says there can't be a kid throwing side arm
I believe it has to do with the force exerted on the pitching arm. Throwing all those fast pitches puts strain on the arm and bones, and slowly makes the arm grow longer.
