Your discription remindes me of a Fed video we had several years ago. That pitcher must have been double jointed. I was sure the motion was illegal, untill the video was placed in slow motion.

The moral of the story is that the pitcher my drop her arm back and to the rear as far as she wishes, even if the arm does come above and even in front of her shoulder. Once she starts forward after the backward swing she may not reverse again.

The move you describe is legal even though it looks painful.
