Ever get to an appointment and suddenly forget how to explain what you’ve been feeling? 😅
You don’t need medical terms. “It burns when I sit,” “it shoots down my leg,” or “it aches enough to wake me up” gives your provider more to work with than “it hurts.”
Burning, aching and shooting describe a feeling. A word alone doesn’t establish a diagnosis. Where it happens, how long it lasts and what it keeps you from doing matter, too.
📝 Save this for your next appointment. Even a few notes in your phone can help you remember what you wanted to say.
