How is "what if" poor medicine? You have to leave all your options open and try to narrow down what it is w/ physical exam and hx taking. You have to ask yourself what if it is this and I do this. We can't make a 100% diagnosis in the field we aren't doctors.
If you can't form a good working diagnosis, you should probably fall back to treating symptoms. Like pain.
What benefit does unrelieved pain provide?
