When talking to your doctors about your medical conditions it is usually a good idea to assume that your doctor is only documenting the symptoms that you tell him or her about at each visit.  Some people are reluctant to tell their doctor that their back hurts or that they are having anxiety attacks if they had previously told their doctor about these symptoms.  By failing to do so every time they have a vist, patients/social security claimants often do not get the best medical treatment and they often also do not develop enough medical evidence to support their claim.  The best policy is to repeat your medical symptoms to your doctor every visit for as long as those symptoms persist.  This will ensure that your doctor knows just how bad your condition is, and it will also help your lawyers point to more documentation to corroborate your testimony in court.  The more documentation, the better!
