CASE STUDY

A college student found that she was studying many hours a day after she arrived home and did most of it on the fl oor leaning on her elbows. She found no time to exercise except weekends, when she hit the pavement for 10 or more miles both days because she loved running and had been a marathon runner in the past. On Monday mornings, she would experience pain in her leg muscles and tendons. After a few months, she noticed a very large fluid-filled sac on her elbow.

1. What are the names of the conditions she is experiencing in her leg muscles and tendons?

2. What is that fluid-filled sac on her elbow called and why is it there?

3. What most likely caused her problems?
