PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
Before your office visit, it's essential to come prepared to make the most of your appointment. Be sure to bring:
Relevant medical records
X-rays, MRIs, or previous test results related to your condition.
Additionally, compile a list of all medications you're currently taking, including dosages, as well as any known allergies or adverse reactions to medications.
Don't forget to bring your insurance information, ID, and any necessary referral forms if required by your insurance provider.
Lastly, it can be beneficial to jot down questions or concerns you have about your condition or treatment options to ensure that you get the most out of your consultation. This proactive approach will help streamline the evaluation process and enable Dr. Moses to provide you with the most accurate and effective care.
Here are some common questions to think about at your leisure before your appointment.
When did your symptoms first appear? Can you describe the nature of your symptoms in detail? (e.g., pain, numbness, tingling, weakness)?
Do your symptoms occur constantly, or do they come and go?
Have you noticed any specific triggers or patterns that make your symptoms worse or better?
Are the symptoms localized to a particular area, such as the hand or upper extremity, or do they radiate to other parts of the body?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the severity of your symptoms?
What activities or movements seem to aggravate or alleviate your symptoms?
Have you tried any self-care or home remedies to relieve your symptoms?
Do you have a family history of similar symptoms or conditions?
Have you experienced any recent injuries or trauma to the affected area?
Are you currently taking any medications that might be related to your symptoms?
Do you have any underlying medical conditions or chronic illnesses that could be contributing to your symptoms?
Have you had any relevant diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, MRIs, or nerve conduction studies, and what were the results?
