Athlete comes into the Athletic Training Room (ATR) complaining of (℅) pain in her elbow, forearm and going down into her pinky and sometimes into her ring finger. She states that the pain is pretty constant but definitely hurts more after basketball practice and when she wakes up in the morning. She does not remember getting hit or injured in any way. Athlete’s chief complaint (c/c) is pain, which is usually around 6/10 during the day and around 8/10 when it is at its worst. Since this athlete doesn't “remember“ getting hurt, the athletic trainer doesn't have a clear MOI. All the athletic trainer can do at this point is assume a few possibilities given what the athlete has said. What do you think this injury is?
