stated that the P is not tender to the touch. She feels it more when she is lifting or
does over head press, wide press, and bench press. The P occurs as she is
going up in weight and reps. Ath. stated she felt a pop after too many reps when
lifting. Level of P yesterday was 7/10. Level of pain today is a 2/10. The pain is
sharp and achy. Ath took Ibuprofen last week for P, has not since.
