If pt comes in with the chief complaint being "arm pain" can you use arm as location in the HPI or is that double dipping? I've heard it both ways.
 
According to our latest audit, double dipping is really an urban myth. In your example, the arm definitely describes the location so I would use it to establish the complexity in the HPI.
