PATIENT PRESENTATION
A 30-year-old female marathon runner referred to physical therapy with complaints of lower extremity (LE) cramping and tingling in her feet, limiting her ability to compete. She also described feeling short of breath as she struggles to increase distances again. There is no history of injury. In the course of casual conversation, she also complains of her nails breaking more than usual with her manicures not lasting more than a few days. Her boyfriend told her that her “legs were looking skinny” and observation reveals sarcopenia in her calves. The skin on her feet is dry and pealing, but she stated they have a tendency to be dry. She has started a reconditioning program in PT which is not responding well. Although referred by an orthopedist to PT, she is scheduled for an annual physical with her primary doctor in the next few weeks. The PT has suggested discussing her signs and symptoms with her physician and has offered to give her a summary of her PT to be brought to him.
