Back pain: prepare a useful symptom record
Describe what the pain stops you doing, not only how strong it feels.
Three practical points
- Note when it began, where it is and any injury or change in activity.
- Record whether sleep, walking or work is affected.
- Bring the record and medicines to a clinician if symptoms persist or disrupt life.
In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
