Diagnosing condition: The most important thing that we do in medicine is to take a thorough history from our patients. Then onto a thorough physical examination. And after that a laboratory examination and possible imaging exam. Your doc should explain to you at each stage the purpose of each part of the exam. That is what the master clinicians do. That is what inspired Arthur Conen Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) creator!

It is your body ...: There are a range of conditions that can present with muscle pain including inflammatory conditions, fibromyalgia, thyroid conditions, muscle tension. After a thorough history and exam your Dr may offer some blood tests to identify or exclude these conditions. At every stage make sure you know what is being tested for, and what a test involves. This is called consent. Your Dr works WITH you
