Good morning
Can someone please tell me if symptoms of a complaint counts towards meeting the required number of elements of any level? Ex: patient complains of low back pain, and neck pain. There is weakness, numbness and tingling in the upper right extremity. The pain worsens with ADLs and routine range of motion. The mid/low back pain is constant with radiation of pain down the left lower extremity. There is mild weakness, spasms and numbness/tingling noted in the lower extremity. The patient reports difficulty with ADLs and sleeping secondary to pain. Would you count weakness, numbness and tingling as elements towards a CC?
Thanks,
