To better select the med most beneficial, three dimensions of pain have been established to classify yours.
When I visit the , I answer an even more detailed questionnaire about what type of pain I am experiencing, do you?
PAROXYSMAL PAIN - sharp, shooting, radiating, hot, electrical.
SUPERFICIAL PAIN - tingling, numb, itchy, sensitive, cold.
DEEP PAIN - heavy, throbbing, cramping, dull.
Unfortunately, I have them all.
I will have to remember this.....I always tell them....that it is hard to answer that question because the pain can change 5 minutes after I tell them how I feel at the "moment" . (sigh)
Dear SK:
Its been a year since I last visited my neourologist, I go to see her next Thursday afternoon. I'm sorry, but I don't recall her asking me about the types of symptoms that you listed. It's more of her listening to my mom and I asking her a bunch of questions, and then her fellow M.D.A. collegues tell me about they're so-called " Bebeficial " services. It's really just a big waste of time, but it gets me out of doing nothing all day.
