Informing your doctor about the pain that you’re feeling will help him/her determine the right treatment and medications that you need. Be honest in telling him where the pain specifically is, how often it occurs and the pain level (mild, moderate, severe) .
There will be a time wherein your doctor will review your medical records. He/she will have to identify if you have other health problems that are related to chronic pain like breathing problems, heart conditions and arthritis. If he/she even finds out that one of those conditions is present, he/she will give you a different type of therapy.
