Does your pain occur in the same body area on both sides (mirror), one whole side of the body, or start in one place and spread?

Is there a reaction in your body when you IMAGINE engaging in the triggering activity? (Close your eyes and imagine yourself doing what hurts- do you have sensation change?)

Pain is absent with certain activity or exercise, but then occurs later in the day or the next day?

Would you consider yourself a perfectionist, people pleaser, or someone who wants to be liked and seen as "good"?

Has your MRI shown cancer, infection, or severe bone on bone arthritis?

Are you self-critical and self-blaming? Do you tend to take responsibility for external problems and feel a sense of obligation?
