Are you using the 1997 guidelines? They have a musculoskeletal exam for use within the guidelines. It lists the bullets and how to count them.

You can find the guidelines here: https://www.cms.gov/mlnedwebguide/25_emdoc.asp

Also check out emuniversity.com for more info, It is a very helpful site.
