Topic Overview
During a medical history for
Paget's disease, your doctor will ask:
- About your symptoms. This includes symptoms of
the disease as well as symptoms caused by complications of the disease, such as
pain due to
osteoarthritis.
- How long you have had the
symptoms.
- Whether you have changed your physical activities because
of the symptoms.
- What makes the symptoms worse or
better.
- Whether you have been taking any prescription or
over-the-counter pain medicine to treat your
symptoms.
- Whether you have experienced any back pain and, if so,
where the pain is located.
- Whether anyone in your family has had
Paget's disease.
