Weighing close to 140 kg (approximately 300 lbs) the athlete found it difficult to stand and balance on one leg. His mother was unable to support him by herself.

He injured his ankle when he was young and is now suffering from osteoarthritis in his ankle joint. He complains of pain and stiffness when he walks, cannot move his foot in all directions, and his left leg looks thinner than his right leg.

- A 15 year old student athlete returns to school after an absence of 3 weeks because of mononucleosis. A student walking toward him, carrying a box of books, happened to strike the student athlete in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, knocking him off balance and to the ground. The student apologized, and the athlete went to his next class, where he noted onset of pain in his left shoulder. He went to his next class, and then to baseball practice where he was anxious to again workout with his teammates. He was concerned that he might exacerbate the apparent shoulder injury, however, so he told his coach about it. The coach suggested that he give it another day of rest, and asked how he was feeling. The athlete responded that he was not feeling as good as he had when he came to school, saying “Maybe I tried to do too much, too soon, because I’m actually getting weak.” The coach remarked that he looked a little pale, and suggested that he go into the Training Room and lay down.
