Answer the following three questions on a slip of paper based on the
scenario:
A 13-year-old male patient comes to you complaining of a dull, constant
pain in their right elbow. They said that they pain is worse when they move
their elbow or when they try to pick something up with their right arm. The
patient is a pitcher for the local middle school and has been expected to
throw 100 practice pitches per day. Neither biceps or forearm muscles
appear to be strained and the pain is focused in the elbow joint and worse
when the elbow is manipulated.
