Before your visit
Put your discomfort into words
You may not call it pain. It might be an ache, a pull, stiffness, or something that just feels off. Whatever you call it, the details tell Dr. Gordon a lot. Tap anything that fits and skip anything that does not.
Words like burning, electric or tingling can point to an irritated nerve. Words like aching, sore or stiff often point to a muscle or joint. Your answers turn into a short summary you can bring to your visit.
