  • Your insurance card and photo ID
  • Recent lab results or imaging reports, if another clinician ordered them
  • X-rays or MRI reports and discs, if you have them
  • Notes on what movements make the pain worse or better
2

During: questions to ask

  • What is causing the pain, and what are my options without surgery?
  • If surgery is an option, what does recovery look like?
  • What activities should I avoid or keep doing?
  • How will we know if things are improving?
3

After: what to keep track of

  • Pain level each day and what you were doing
  • Physical therapy exercises completed
  • Sleep and swelling
