Pain histories change over time. When you are establishing care with a new pain-management practice, the changes since your last visit can be just as important as the original diagnosis.
New limitations, changing symptoms, previous treatment response, medication history, and relevant imaging can all help give a clinician a clearer picture of what is happening now.
Useful details to bring to a new-patient evaluation
- Recent changes in walking, sleep, work, errands, or other daily activities.
- A current medication and supplement list.
- Recent imaging reports and prior pain-management notes when available.
- What previous treatments helped, did not help, or caused problems.
- The main goals you want to discuss during the visit.
