Today I wanted to showcase a mini-case study of an athlete
that I consulted with recently. This was a 22 year old female collegiate track
and field athlete. This patient was a mid-distance runner that specialized in
the 800m event.

The athlete complained of chronic pain at the
musculotendinous junction of the Achilles tendon that had been recurrent at the
beginning of track season the previous two years. The athlete had a previous
history of turf-toe like symptoms in the ipsilateral great toe.
