Let us start from the beginning. You need to explain much about your symptoms. When did the symptoms start, where exactly are they, which body parts hurt the most, when does the pain become the worst, what activities increase and decrease the pain, what is the highest pain level, how are you limited, what is your occupation, etc..? You then need to discuss what you have done to obtain a diagnosis, what therapies you have had, what has temporarily helped and so forth.
What imaging studies have you had? What other tests have you undergone?
