Select one case to discuss.
Case 1: A 62-year-old female complains of pain over several finger joints bilaterally. This pain is “worse” upon waking up and severe enough that it does not allow her to garden. She also complains of feeling tired most of the time and is having trouble sleeping.
Case 2: A 38-year-old male construction worker complains of severe pain to his right lower back. States he woke up with the pain after an especially difficult workday. He takes Motrin but it offers little relief.
Case 3: A 58-year-old obese man complains of pain in his left knee. The pain seems to be unrelenting; he says it is better when he rests but gets stiff when he rests too long.
