Abstract

In brief Sports medicine physicians see brief overuse, chronic, or recurrent injuries in athletes every day. However, some patients who have symptoms consistent with these injuries actually have underlying disease. Three case studies examine athletes who initially seemed to have overuse syndromes or recurrent chronic injuries. The eventual diagnoses were rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and gout.
