Abstract

A 23 year old elite Indonesian female tennis player presented with two lower body pain sites. The major site of pain was localised over the medial meniscus of the right knee (Pain Site 1), of which she had suffered for 3 months. The second site of pain (Pain Site 2) was superficial over a large area of the antereolateral left thigh musculature and had been ongoing for an approximate period of 12 months. PS2 was localised and non-directional. Both pain sites were reported to be chronic and required the athlete to be withdrawn from competition during 2009.
