Details...details...: Tell your healthcare practitioner the following; details of the onset of your pain, the pain level scale of 1 to 10, the associated symptoms, frequency of the problem, etc, etc. Ask for a differential diagnosis, that is list of possibilities. This might help you and your healthcare practitioner understand the issue, and find some resolution. Sometimes further testing is indicated, or sometimes.
