Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose chronic joint pain, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "chronic joint pain" as a symptom. For example, weak ligaments-tendons.

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause.

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of chronic joint pain.

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

If you indicate joint problems, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Do you suffer from chronic pain from any joint in your body that is associated with a past injury or abuse?

Possible responses:

→ No / don't know
→ Yes, mild pain that comes and goes
→ Yes, usually mild pain / occasionally moderate
→ Yes, usually moderate pain / occasionally severe
→ Yes, usually/always severe pain

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either joint pain from injury or severe joint pain from injury, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as Torn, weak, or Stretched Ligaments or Tendons.
