Diagnosis involves a comprehensive assessment by healthcare providers, including:
1. Patient History: Detailed patient history helps identify the pain's origin and characteristics. 2. Physical Examination: A thorough physical exam can help determine the pain's location and severity. 3. Imaging Studies: Techniques like MRI or CT scans may be used to identify structural issues contributing to pain. 4. Neurological Assessments: These are conducted to evaluate nerve involvement and damage.
