Before your appointment

  1. List the pain

    Note where it hurts, when it began, and what makes it worse.

  2. Open one subject

    Pick the subject closest to your problem and read one article.

  3. Write one question

    Put it on paper and bring it to a clinician in the Wayne area.

Subjects

You searched from Wayne because something hurts, and the pages you found read like paperwork. Here is the short version of most of them. Write down where it hurts, when it began, and what makes it worse. Take that list to your next appointment.

Work strain, back, sport, rehab: four sets of directions

Four subjects are covered: repetitive strain at work, lower back pain, sports injuries, and rehabilitation with a physiatrist. Open the one closest to your problem and you will find short articles, each ending in one thing to do next.

If you want a wider view first, a pain management overview makes a useful second reference to keep open while you read.

Nothing extra, nothing wasted

We are Back and Rehab Notes, and our eco habit is simple. When a requirement runs long, work out what it asks of you and leave the padding behind.

Rehabilitation starts with one question, which is who manages that care. For a plain answer, read what a physiatrist is and then come back to the subject you need.

Choosing a set of directions

Choose the subject closest to your problem and open its page. Read the list of articles. Pick one, read its steps, and write down one question for your clinician. Your next Wayne visit goes faster when the question is already on paper.

Start with the list of where it hurts. Everything else follows from that.
