What brings you in today

I'm sorry that must be hard for you

I appreciate you saying that.

Let's see what we can figure out here as I go to your history

Me ask when did the pain start

Probably at least a month ago. Maybe longer. It started out really minor so it took me awhile to realize it was getting bad.
