Checklist: Bones
|
Print these symptoms to
take to your doctor to help with your diagnosis. Check off each day that you have observed this
symptom. Rank symptoms on a scale of 1 (present, but not bad), 2 (fair), 3 (bad) and 4
(unbearable!). Also helpful to take are
any past medical records; pictures of yourself when you were thinner, had more
hair, no straie, etc. |
|
Note: Not every patient has every symptom. Do not
attempt to diagnose yourself. This list is a partial checklist of frequently-noticed symptoms. Carefully filling out this checklist and taking it to your medical
personnel can be an important first step in getting appropriate testing and
the proper medical diagnosis. Please
show this to your qualified medical personnel.
Please read the Important Disclaimer. |
Because this list is so long, it made for a
slow loading page. I've now split it up into several pages for easier
loading.
