What brings you in
Discussing Muscle and Joint Pain
Physical pain can mean different things to different people. A recent strain, recurring stiffness, and pain that travels into an arm or leg each deserve a careful conversation. An assessment helps determine what needs attention before discussing treatment.
At our Freeport clinic, describe when the discomfort began, how it has changed, and what you want to get back to doing. Bring information about previous injuries, tests, medicines, and treatments.
Your daily activities
Tell us about lifting, desk work, driving, sleep, or exercise. Specific examples help explain how the problem affects your day.
Your priorities
Perhaps you want to sit through a workday or return to a favorite activity. Share what matters to you when discussing a care plan.

Common questions
Questions About Muscle and Joint Pain
Use these answers to prepare for a conversation with your clinician.
Do I need to know what is causing the pain?
You can call before you have a diagnosis. Explain your symptoms and any previous assessment. Your clinician can discuss whether an examination at our clinic or another medical service is the right next step.
Will everyone receive the same treatment?
Care depends on the assessment, your health history, and your preferences. Ask about the purpose of a proposed treatment, its possible benefits and risks, and the alternatives.
When does back pain need emergency attention?
Seek emergency care for back pain with new loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin, or significant weakness in both legs. These symptoms need immediate medical assessment.
