Dr, what's my diagnosis?

So here's the deal. I was bugged all day today (even now) with a weird pain in my right arm. However, due to its nature (uncomfortable, yet very mild), i don't see any reason to worry. But since it was there and and i was bored, and we had a lot of corridor time to kill while waiting for the consultant who took forever poring over patient charts, I asked Anie to take a history off of me (We need the practice anyway).

And her diagnosis was: VOILA! Neuropathic pain~

I wasn't really convinced, so I decided to get a second opinion from Dr Farhana. This is one (future) doctor i know i can bet my last penny on.

(But I can be wrong sometimes too. LOL~)

Anyway, here's a snippet of the consultation session i had with her:
(Some contents have been edited to protect patient's confidentiality~)

Dr Farhana: Describe the pain.
Izyan Ramdan: It's a dull generalized pain
Izyan Ramdan: It's aggravated by touch, heat, cold, and gravity.
Izyan Ramdan: And it's always there.
Dr Farhana: Radiation? Severity?
Izyan Ramdan: Radiates from above the elbow to the the fingers
Izyan Ramdan: It's worst at the distal biceps and dorsal portion of the hand.
Izyan Ramdan: Severity 2 /10
Izyan Ramdan: I'm not on any medications
Dr Farhana: Okay
Izyan Ramdan: No hx of serious medical conditions.
Izyan Ramdan: Non smoker
Izyan Ramdan: And I don't drink alcohol
Dr Farhana: (patient ni takyah tanye die dah bagi detail hx)
Izyan Ramdan: hahahahaha
Dr Farhana: hahahahaha
Izyan Ramdan: What else do u need to know, Dr?
Dr Farhana: yes... are u married?
Izyan Ramdan: I'm single
Izyan Ramdan: but i plan to get married 11/11/11
Dr Farhana: hahahahahahaha
Dr Farhana: (tak tanye pon)
Izyan Ramdan: Any other questions, Dr?
Dr Farhana: who do u live with at home?
Izyan Ramdan: my plant Yuuki, and 4 other ppl
Izyan Ramdan: So Dr, what's my diagnosis?
Dr Farhana: hmmm
Dr Farhana: "mengade"ness!!!
Izyan Ramdan: HAHAHAHA
Dr Farhana: hahhahahahaha

Oh well, i think i can live with that~ ^___^
