Describe exactly where it hurts. Also, tell your doctor if the pain is changing or not.
Here are some examples:
• Deep in your shoulder joint or in the muscles near the surface.
• Under the kneecap or in the back of the knee.
• The outside of your hip or in your groin.
• Is the pain in only one spot, or does it travel?
• Does the pain remain steady, come and go, or only flare up when you move in a certain way?
